IT GOES UP

WELL, WITH THE NEW YEAR NOW UPON US, I CAME TO THE REALIZATION OF SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT.  MANY PEOPLE, IN THIS TIME SAY THAT THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT IN THE NEW YEAR, AND THAT LAST YEAR WAS GREAT, BUT, BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS ARE COMING.  WHAT I HAVE REALIZED, IS THAT, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU DID, OR WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO.  IT ONLY MATTERS, WHAT YOU ARE DOING.  PEOPLE WILL ONLY RECOGNIZE WHAT YOU HAVE AVAILABLE TO THEM AT THAT MOMENT.  PEOPLE ALSO, HAVE SHORTER ATTENTION SPANS, SO THEY'RE LESS LIKELY TO KEEP UP WITH YOUR PROGRESS, BOTH PAST AND FUTURE.  SO, FOR THE NEW YEAR, THE KEY IS TO GET BUSY, AND STAY BUSY.  TO BE WORKING ON SOMETHING CONSISTENTLY, IS A SURE FIRE WAY, TO KEEP ALL PARTIES INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU'RE DOING.  THIS ATTRIBUTES TO ALL THINGS, MUSIC, ART, CLOTHING, WRITING, ETC., BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU HAVE, AT THAT MOMENT, BEYOND THAT THEY'LL BE DISINTERESTED.  I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS YEAR WILL BE, I COULD SAY IT WILL BE BETTER THAN THE LAST, BUT, I DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE.  LAST YEAR, I LEARNED SOME GOOD LESSONS, AND EVEN THOUGH, THEIR WERE STEPS UPWARD, THEIR WERE SOME VERY SIGNIFICANT LESSONS TO BE LEARNED.  LEARNING WILL ALWAYS TAKE PLACE UNTIL YOU DEVELOP A FORMULA OR RECIPE FOR SUCCESS, THEN, IT'S A MATTER OF EXPOUNDING UPON THAT SUCCESS.  SO, THIS NEW YEAR, WILL BE MORE OF THE SAME.  BY THAT I MEAN, I WILL STAY BUSY AND EVEN TRY TO BECOME MORE BUSY, AND CONTINUE TO PAY ATTENTION TO LEARN, HARVESTING THE LESSONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO ME.  MY HOPE IS THAT, I GAIN MORE ATTENTION, THIS YEAR, AND THRU THAT ATTENTION, MAKE MORE SALES AND GAIN NEW FOLLOWERS.  AS THE GREAT RAPPER, TECH N9NE SAYS, "IT GOES UP".  WHY?  BECAUSE, IT HAS NO OTHER WAY TO GO, BUT, UP.  BEING NOTHING IS NORMAL, WE STARTED FROM ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, AND YET HERE WE ARE...        -  925
