I'm not sure what genre you'd call this. Acoustic motivational? Good advice? Whatever it is, the idea came to me while listening to a podcast about a new undertaking I'm diving into in an effort to provide a plan B incase my health doesn't improve.

The podcaster was answering questions, and was asked about how one comes up with a good name and logo. his advice was to envision yourself standing in front of that business in the future as you would like to see it. Imagine every detail, and he gave an example of his own ideal future outcome.

At the end of this beautifully vivid description of his shop he tasked the listener to stand before their business ideal, holding every detail fast, then look up and the name above the store front. Did any of the names on the current list of contenders look like they belonged there? If not, better keep looking.

While I found the suggestion quite good, I also latched onto the idea of holding that dream fast then doing all you could to making it a reality each day, regardless of the doubters or the challenges in the way. This song was born of that idea.

Admittedly, the demo's rough. It's late at night here and I'm trying not to wake my wife. She's been patient all month with my recording from bed, but best not to push my luck.
