There’s something I love about late nights. It’s around 1am-4am where
creativity burns the brightest, for we tend to think about life’s conundrums
and our own problems. You know, the ones where we try to ignore the whole day..
Why is it that when we have issues that we tend to solve them through temporary
highs like alcohol or drugs? The escape may be the answer, but what’s worse,
the pain or the hangover?
Alone in Vegas is about being in a place where what happens in a situation stays there and that only those who happen to make that journey with you, will be able to fully understand and appreciate. This is the story of trials and tribulations to the top of the mountain and the cost of changing situations.
Its amazing how things can change between certain individuals or groups of people. When we struggle through our own issues nobody wants to be there by your side, they don’t want to hear your problems or support you.. But fast forward a few months/years and the same people who didn’t want anything to do with you are putting out there hand acting like they owe you something because you worked so hard to make your dreams a reality and now that you’ve made something of yourself, people act like what they did didn’t happen.
When we need people at the toughest times and we need the support and love it is vital for our wellbeing to be surrounded by “riders”, the type of people who stick by you through thick and thin regardless of circumstances. But in today’s society, its hard to find genuine people. If it does not concern the individual or have something to do with their interests than they don’t want anything to do with you. See, people of circumstance are toxic to your life. In order for you to succeed and live a positive life, it is crucial for you to rid these people of your life even if it means you are alone.
For you need new people, people who can lift you higher and direct you on the right path for your dreams and ultimately your success. People who are of circumstance are usually people who would be hiding their jealousy and envy plotting against you. They wish rather to be you than share in your success.

These type of people secretly do not wish
for you to succeed, they wish for you to be less successful than they are.
However, real genuine people do not see you as a threat but more as an asset. You add something to their life in which they value you and your company. If you want people who uplift you and support you through thick and thin find these people who see the value in you.. Not just in what you have achieved. Find a connection or a meaningful friendship that goes beyond materialistic things.
Sometimes its not the amount of friends that you have but the quality of friends. Ensure that these people who are on your team are not temporary nor do they wish for your downfall but only wish for your uprise.
In order to succeed, the key to success is unity and if individuals do not wish to commit or understand you or your lifestyle, you will find it an uphill battle as you will try to convince these people to side with you. DON'T!! They shouldn’t need convincing they only need the fundamental plan in order to be on board for they only want the best for you and believe in you.
Working towards common goals makes it easier to understand one another and there will not be those from the inside trying to remove the bolts to your structure.
Communication of issues and ideas are also fundamental for success as it is important for everyone to be on the same page, if they wish to keep these private you must weigh up what the cost may be if these are not easily discussed. For how can you build on a strong foundation if you do not continue its progress. Being able to communicate with your team or your partner without confrontation but understanding will allow you to work together and accomplish tasks without having taken your focus off of the task at hand.
No longer shall you accept people who are not genuine who focus on things that are not ideal for the direction in which you wish to head. The price of success at times is loneliness for you value the dream and the requirements in which you must meet in order for you to hopefully bring this dream to life.
You find that you must surround yourself with quality and like minded individuals and not just anybody but people who can also add to your life just as you add to theirs.
Relationships are also difficult for you need someone who understands the lifestyle that you live that is also willing to ride by your side even through the negatives. You cannot just settle for anyone for your partner becomes not just a marriage or a relationship but a partnership where both individuals understand what it takes to succeed and accept that as a way of life. The values you have must be shared and for some, like myself, need an individual who can challenge me in order to allow me to keep developing. Development is important for any individual hoping to succeed in life, for their spot can be taken at any time that they feel its okay to rest without little or no competition.. Everyone wants your spot so its important that when you’re home that your partner helps build you and not just share these moments with you..
Sometimes it’s a long lonely road before you see anybody.
But that’s the life we choose.
We prefer dimes over pennys for we see the true value in the bigger picture.
Great things take time and we are only getting better.
