More than 2 million hits on Myspace, over a thousand daily hits on the blog, 30% increase on record sales every month, its proof that the hard work pays off. Where is the support, where is the brotherhood, so many people promoting stuff, dreams and careers that everyone forgets the simple things in life. All we have is the love we receive from the people we support, our family and friends.
The world is moving very fast, things are changing and our focus struggles to stay still because something new strikes our conscious every other second. I am amazed how little support is out there, everyone wants to network, everybody wants to socialize, but no one dedicates time to help others grow, "where is the love?" How many blogs are you part off? How many bands are you supporting that are not already selling out arenas? How many fashion designers are you helping succeed? How many writers are you helping with their stories? You see, you like reading blogs but you don’t want the responsibility to help them grow, you go to concerts but only if its cool to tell people that you went to see someone they would have loved to see, you follow the authors of the New York times best seller’s list just to be part of the hype, but in reality we all have talented and ambitious friends with better art that what we can find in the massive market, “everything Indie becomes mainstream” but no-one really supports the no ones while they are eating cable trying to convince people that their message is authentic and has something meaningful to offer. Its frustrating to make it in this world, and everyday that passes I agree more with Darwin, only the strong survives, we are so busy looking for entertainment that we forget where does it come from.
Every-time you walk into a record store, you don’t see records you see dreams, the same in a bookstore, Movie Theater, we are bombarded so heavily with media that today everything we see our mind perceives it as given. The effort, the days and nights without sleep, the worries and risks are all in vain if there are no real supporters out there. People want to feel loved, everyone wants to feel cared for and nobody wants to feel alone. I agree that there is a lot of trash out there, a lot of corporations trying to inject bad vodka in our system, or movie studios trying to brain wash our minds with senseless stories, but we forget that there are very talented human beings trying as hard as they can to make an impact and change a little bit of the world.
Changing one person its more than enough. Are we supposed to support the ones around us or just our own egocentric project? I answer will all my confidence and experience, that Merlinmoon wouldn’t be today what it is, without the people that supports it, that surrounds it, that makes fun of it, that loves it, that hates it, and the ones that die for it. We are all together a community and a family. If you want to be part of it, you can join. If you want to stop being part of it you can just walk away, the beauty of today’s life is that we have the power to make choices. Are you Mac or PC, Starbucks or Coffee Bean, HP or Epson, Fedex or UPS, we form part of tribes, we want an identity, and when we find it we defend it. Look around you, there are some many people willing to help and others looking for help, its time to give and if you receive you have the responsibility to give out twice as much. We have to give out to the universe without asking anything in return and our life will glow like a lighthouse in the middle of the ocean, standing still, lighting the way for the ones that see the light.
SHARE THE LOVE, JOIN THE EVOLUTION.MERLINMOON. . . . . . .
