Years ago there was once a little boy that was afraid of speaking. Of speaking to anyone. Always afraid of letting people see him as himself.
Always afraid of ridicule.
Who he was as a person were a series of self inflicted inferiority complexes. He was just basically afraid of life in general.
As the years passed and the life lessons slowly began to shape the boy into a man, the messaging would become clearer of what the boy that has became a man would have to do with his life.
This blog is about me and Lady Gaga!!
Over the holidays, one of my gifts was a Lady Gaga concert.
There have been many blogs that I have written that shared my experiences and my lessons learned from the events, the meetings, the people that of incredible talent that I have met, worked with and have come to know as a friend.
When Lady Gaga was just starting, I was working a VIP lounge where she sat at my bar. At first glance when I have met artists over the years, I noticed she was much smaller than imagined. I always used my Moms height as a measure of 5'3" to gauge visual height proportions of the stars (Tom Cruise, 5'8", George Clooney 5
'11') and now Gaga at 5'2".
The unmistakable energy that these artists give off automatically shows anyone watching that elusive label Star Quality as they speak. I was sold at "Hey Sir".
I know easy sell.
If you get to know me, you will eventually see a pattern of my own life lessons. It is a light that is larger than just me.
Its time for music....!!!
The Gaga concert (Joanne Tour) did not dissapoint.
Gaga really does leave her heart on the stage but her personal stories of being the weird kid, the person that started with a dream, the person that has become a star.
Gaga is on her own Edge of Glory
I have not reached that star yet. I am in process and on my own mission, my own path, my "Edge of Glory".
My sharing of the Light and the lessons that made me who I am right now made me realize I would not change one moment.
My hope for anyone reading this blog that "Instead of Looking at the Stars, that you become One".
There is room for all of us!!
You have to choose!!
You have to choose happiness, you have to choose your edge of glory.
When we are given gifts much larger than we imagine, when you hear that voice says "You are here for something bigger". Then you are on the path to the Edge of Glory
Be Courageous!! Be the all that!! Be You!!!
There are no guidelines here because each path is your own and hopefully one day our individual paths will intersect as we are on "The Edge of Glory"
My favorite Gaga Video
So on a personal note from this day forward anyone that read my blogs are now called "Lifers".
So Lifers, my hopes to share a personal video starting the "Rand talks to You" series is still very much a work in progress. All the lessons being learned on becoming live to you are as lengthy as a few courses at UCLA. Remembering my very first script I wrote, I edited and edited and edited and then edited again.
I can assure you that if you love it or not, it will not matter because it is "Me". Rand Angel!!! Cheers to all my Lifers.....
