Your "Pay it Up" idea is a real eye-opener, and I just hope the cynics in this world will give it a chance before turning the cameras away from you...like they did to me in city council the other day. Don't them let turn the cameras away, Haley. Don't let them do it. No seriously, I agree with what you're saying. I just sit on every idea until it's perfect...which is never, and so I just keep it there. All these great ideas and good intentions, and I don't share them. I don't want to do that so much anymore. Thank you for writing like this, Dave. Haley,

It's called Pay It Forward. I don't know if you've seen it, but if you haven't, check it out asap. I lay it all out in there. I've got the freakin' blueprint to saving the world and I can draw it on the whiteboard if you want. No seriously, it's really easy to draw. It's just lines and circles. Way easier than that time I had to draw "Truth" in Cranium. Honestly, self-doubt is my biggest hurdle as well. But I am getting over it slowly. Tupac is a big inspiration in this arena. He recorded so many songs because he never got hung up on creating the one true masterpiece. Instead, he would just let whatever came out come out and then moved on to the next. Focus on creating and being honest to the creative process and not about the outcome. There is a movie about this that I was in. It’s called Pay It Forward.
