the lion sleeps tonight...not

sometimes, i sit up late at night, or shall i say extremely early in the morning -and just think. i've been pretty good at not letting things get to me, but sometimes i get anxious. there's a whole world out there and when you really look at it, little ol' me is just sitting in front of this daggon computer tryna figure out what my purpose in life is...my purpose in this world. then i look at all these successful people who have actually worked hard and created a strong foundation to get where they are and to keepin movin on up. so i keep tellin myself that i have to work hard and keep on believin, and every time i accomplish somethin i dont have to throw myself a party. it's good to reach goals in life, but success comes to those who are too busy working hard to notice it. and obstacles are triumphed when your eye is steady on the prize. i think i have a pretty good idea of what it takes to get to the top...but my whole issue is not having an idea of my career path. there's a big ol' world out there...people are sleeping, crying, dying, partying, laughing, driving, eating, sleeping, and sleeping, and sleeping, and i'm up---thinking.
