Holding on to a dream.

My writing this blog at the time takes a great deal of courage, reason being; I was almost at the point of maybe believing my dream of one day owning my own boxing/fitness gym and developing a world professional boxing champion was beyond my attaining. I for thirty plus years have committed myself in the areas of helping the youth/young adults in the avenue of sports, mainly boxing pro/amateur and almost all of the time after I get the athlete to the steps of accomplishment I've either been betrayed by some of them, asked by those who's gyms I've help put on the map to pack up my program but the ones in it can stay if they were to join their ranks. It really gets to be taxing after years of what seem to be the same outcome regardless how fair I treat those (athletes) and the owners of the facilities. I have heard from others (sometime family members) maybe its something I do to cause this what seems to be a never ending occurrence, I look back over the years and focus on each and every individual ever involved in my program. I wouldn't disagree that if any blame for what I've went through is maybe over stepping my boundaries as trying to be a parent along with coaching, as for as the gym movement; the owners objectives are for whatever reason after a period of time different from that of mine. I've reached out, talked to those much wiser then what I am concerning my aggravation doing the moment of the stresses, and receiving the answer which already lies deep down in my soul; never ever give up on my dream. I've heard from young people who have and some which still benefit from the program to hang in there and never give up. I path myself to looking at the documented history of those who at one time passed through highway similar to mine, I found Tyler Perry a young man who's work I have the highest appreciation for along with his unmovable stance in God. Tyler Perry's advice for success on YouTube prove to be encouraging and a great up lift for me helping in my deciding not to let anything are anyone push me off of the path of my dream. And if God for whatever reason not manifest its birth I can be pleased in that ; I intend to give it my all as long as He  (God) continues to privilege me with life.
