Difficult Things

Happy Labor Day! Sometimes I just need to remind myself that I can do difficult things. Even the things that I love can be difficult. Parenting, marriage, relationships, art, work, spirituality, health. Learning a new beat on the cajón drum. Writing rhymes. Getting up early. Getting up period. Getting out of bed, showing up. Sometimes it's hard. It's so easy to quit or to procrastinate. But you've done hard things in the past. If you did that, then you can do this.


Next time you feel like throwing in the towel, remind yourself that you can do difficult things! Quit complaining, stop avoiding and making excuses and just do what you need to do. Embrace the challenge, however arduous.


In the meantime, here's something that you can do that isn't difficult at all. In fact, It may be the easiest thing you do today! You can can listen to the demo for my new song "Difficult Things" here.


I recorded the lyrics a few days ago after a difficult day. I was moping and dragging my feet and complaining and then I took a break to write, and these are the words God gave me "I can do difficult things"


A super dope producer out of Canada by the name of Newselph made the beat. You can check him out at newselph.com


Thanks for listening. Feel free to share liberally.
