Quote That

Dare to Begin..... That is a powerful statement to me. 

I was watching tv this weekend and was so moved my this story of Ryan Henry of 9 Mag tattoo shop in Chicago.

Ryan knew he had the talent of a true artist but couldn't or wouldn't allow himself to see where this gift could take him. After a conversation with Nova (Ryan's sister) the next day, she promised to give him money for an artist apprenticeship he wanted to take part in. 

Sad to say she and her baby were murdered that night by her boyfriend. 

How crazy it that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The family agreed that the money that was given to them in cards of condolence for Nova, would be given to Ryan because even they seen what Nova seen in Ryan's potential. 

This story has made a lasting impression on me. What I took away from this story was you only live once and when your back is against the wall or your knuckles are on the floor, all you can do is fight for better because you don't have any other choice. 

 So dare to begin. Stop standing in your own way, You just have to start!!!
