Always Do what you love, especially if its like a dream

Well, hello again. This is just a simple post about the love of music.  Just a  simple question.  When do you stop doing what you love?  The fact is maybe its not that simple at all.  You see it all the time, that 40 year old man  that's pumped up because hes got a couple of close friends coming over to have  a band session in the garage.  Or maybe you hear about a lady from church that's been directing the choir for 40 years.  Another example is that young boy who's becoming a man but thinks he can still make it the music world and puts off on a career to chase his dreams.   The last example i have but i'm sure there are plenty more.  What about that young kid that grew up with nothing and people tell him that he has something but he cant find the right person to hear him/her ( no matter the race nor gender) and knows that if he could just be heard,  maybe just maybe he could change theirs and their  family's life for ever.  So with all that being said,  how do you tell someone to just stop.  What if you don't think they have what it takes and they need to move on,  how do you tell them?  How do tell that uncle of yours to give up his band of 20 years and make the garage into what its supposed to be?  Could you really look at the lady at the church and tell her step down and let someone else take over?  That young man with a dream,  could you tell him to give it up and get a real job?  And last but not least,  The young kid that cant be heard because they don't have the money to go to a recording studio, what do you day to him.her?  Well,  here is my opinion.  I think you do what you love till you can't do it anymore.  You keep going on no matter how long you been doing it just as long as you still have that love for it.  As far as the dream chaser,  sometimes you need to realize that its not going to happen and yes,  you do need to get a real job, but it doesn't mean you have to stop chasing your dream. And finally,  if your that young kid out there with all the talent in the world, you never stop grinding away at finding the right person to hear you.  You send in cd's/tapes whatever you got.  You call radio stations and you will prevail, just don't give up till you've been heard.  Music means so much to a lot of people,  music can change your mood from stressed to mellow.  Music can be a medicine to some people.  No matter what genre,  no matter what race, no matter what gender or age, music means something to almost everyone.  My final words are this.  Love the music and do whatever it is to keep that feeling alive,  from signing in the shower to performing in front of 50,000 people.  DO WHAT YOU LOVE.
