As I continue to travel, and occasionally work, around the world I continue to realize how important communication is. In 2003, I pledged for Kappa Epsilon Theta Fraternity in Hawaii, and we were constantly drilled on how important communication is. I have spoken to many people that have hopes, dreams, and goals that they are going after. For some people those goals involve a certain dollar amount, or a certain material item that will bring them joy and happiness. Others I have met, just hope for a better life than the wood home they live in with one light bulb powered by a solar panel given to them by their King. All around the world, rich or poor, we all continue to work towards a better future for ourselves and our families. The only way to achieve those hopes, dreams, and goals is to communicate to those that will raise you up and help you achieve them.
I have endlessly been amazed by what happens when you let people know what you want to achieve. What most people don't realize though, is that every time you start to spread the word of what you want to do there will be 9 out of 10 people that will tell you that it can't be done. They will tell you that you're crazy. They will try to instill their own fears and faults into YOUR goals. They will say it's impossible to accomplish it, because they believe that about their own dreams. So, when you find that 1 person that believes in you, keep them close. These are the "1's" that you want to surround yourself with. They will help you become the person you want to be.
When I had my acting part on LOST I wanted to make shirts that said I <3 Dustin Watchman. Many people called me less than positive adjectives, but one lady that I worked with said that she knew a place that I could get them printed at a good price. With the "1" friends information the "I <3 Dustin Watchman" shirts were created. When I created this Blog, I had no idea how to parts of it. My friends from around the world, Julie, Karen, Isabel, Homer, and anyone I hope I didn't forget, believed in me, and taught me how to finish it. There are many other wild and crazy times that I have communicated my ideas to people and those "1's" have stepped up to the challenge and believed in helping me accomplish them.
The point is that communication is the key to success in whatever you are doing. YES! there will be far more people that think your crazy for attempting it, but you will also find those rare gems that may also think you're crazy, but they see the slight bit of logic and the huge potential of positiveness that may grow from your ideas.
In the end, I must say to you that your life is in your hands. You are the pilot. Communicate with others, play nicely, and let the good times roll!
Find your "1's"
1 World. 1 Life. 1 Love.
