I’ve been stressing a whole lot lately about “the blawg” (as I call it in my country slang) and about 10 days ago Tyler Perry‘s inspirational email hit my inbox.

In this segment of “Inspirational Corner,” which TP posts his website and sends in a newsletter to his many fans and followers, he says “maybe you’re being hidden on purpose”.

A friend of mind called me up and said, ‘you’re contageous’… I’m gonna start my own business

The Bible says ‘never despise small beginnings’. There are things that happen out of the smallest little start that can change the world.

He was telling me how frustrated he was how nobody notices him… nobody sees him… how nobody will give him a break. And I explained to him about how, even in my own life,? how sometimes, people are out there pushing, there out there trying to be seen, they’re doing all this stuff… sometimes God will hide you.

Had I went the route I wanted to go, what would have happened is… I would have have ended up in Hollywood and did the deals that everyone else had done and there would have been nothing different, nothing “spectacular” about the blessings that I’ve received. It would have just been an average story.

But because I was hidden. Because I didn’t know how it went. Because I didn’t know how things were “supposed” to go in film and television, that ignorance allowed me to carve my own way.

Thank you TP for the message. I?m not where I want to be but I?m okay waiting because I know that my steps are ordered and I?m exactly where I?m supposed to be RIGHT NOW.

Do you feel like you’re constantly struggling for your lil piece of the pie like the Jeffersons?? If so, hopefully this message touched you as much as it did me.
