Perseverance... My Greatest Virtue! - Weekend-Engagement 196

I could never consider myself an inspiration to other people. I know myself very well and I feel that I am still constantly learning in all aspects of my life, but I saw this topic proposed by Galenkp and it caught my attention because many people have approached me to tell me that I have inspired them in some way, which always surprises me. Some talk to me about my relationship, others about my strength in the face of adversity and others about music, but after an analysis I can conclude that all of them are inspired by a basic feeling for me, Perseverance...

I am not the best musician, but as you can see in the pictures it is a life I chose since I was a child. I made a big mistake since I was a teenager, because although I never stopped being very clear that I would make a living from singing, problems and complexes kept me away from daily practice in a very important part of my life, but when I came to my senses and found myself surrounded by paperwork in a human resources office I knew I had to get my life back. For many musicians trying to go professional after the age of 20 and with so many years of abandoning the lead instrument can be fatal, but my will to live singing and the talent that runs through my veins has been there ever since. I returned to music at the age of 22, I crashed many times, but today I feel professionally stable and in constant search for improvement. The people to whom I transmit music tell me that I am an inspiration to them, and although I don't tell them my whole story as I do to you, I have taken it upon myself to advise them so that they don't make the same mistakes I did.

My relationship with Jhoxiris has been inspiring for many people who approach me and let me know, especially my closest friends. In the past, far back in my life I fell in love only three times and I knew the hard time of falling out of love, but one day in 2013 I discovered Jhoxi, although she was a partner in the Symphonic Choir of Aragua for two years already. Music was in charge of bringing us together and it didn't take me long to notice that she was the perfect woman and a perfect candidate to share my life. I confessed to her that I liked her that same year, I had never done that in my life, but I was a little more mature and at the same time used to rejection, I had nothing to lose. Jhoxiris also rejected me at the time 😅 in the most subtle and respectful way someone could have, and well, the story is very long, but although I didn't bother her anymore with that topic I never allowed her to be bad and I took care of making her life easier, since we were roommates in the roughest years of Venezuela. After four years of friendship I got what I wanted the most and our crazy friends who were there from the beginning almost gave me an award when we became boyfriend and girlfriend, in fact many of them made me bow in jokes 😹

Here on Hive I have also had many friends write to tell me that I have inspired them through what I reflect to the community. I feel that I have done almost nothing like the people you can see in the picture above, they are greatness here in Venezuela and drive the platform every day. I have always thought that I would like to travel and give conferences like them, but everyone has their role in this story, and with so many musical occupations my place is definitely in curation and community management. There is a lot of support at Hive, but definitely working on my HP is my new ideal, as I am very creative lately and want to keep building on the blockchain.

The focus I have inspires myself every day, and I believe it should. That along the way our life serves to inspire other people is an extra bonus. I think I will always feel small and will continue to miss someone telling me that they took my example to improve something in their own life, but as I said a few days ago, words are carried away by the wind, actions are what really show who we are and just living your life with passion is reason to reflect a lot of light to the world...
