Who do I believe?

I'd like to share something with you. The DJ at a wedding in Stratford was from my high school. He was in a band with a guy by the name of Miles Wilkinson. You don't know Miles, but he is one of the top recording engineers in the world. He worked on almost all, if not all, of the Anne Murray albums. I emailed him about a couple of my ideas. Here is the first line of his reply.

"Thanks for the e-mail. Sounds like you’ve got some passion for this stuff. Way to go. Anything is possible."

Now, who should I believe? Should I believe a guy who now lives in Nashville, has lived in L.A. and has worked with many of the top artists in the world or should I believe people who keep on telling me something can't be done? The answer is that either one may be actually right, but do I want to live not knowing if what Miles said is true or do I want to heed the advice of the "experts" here and do nothing? If I do nothing, the result will be nothing. If I actually try to see if Miles is right, I just might find out he is and my dreams will be unleashed. What about you? In the process, some may think you are foolish. So what? If you reach the top of the mountain, you can look down at them and admire the view. If you don't, you will have learned some valuable lessons along the way.

I want to live my life with an exclamation point at the end. I don't want to be John. I want to be John!
