Josiah Leming

I seemed to run across this video on one of those nights where all I seem to do is search you tube. This was quite I good find I found out quickly after watching about 2 min. of it. After watching this amazing video of what it seems to be the next great musician, I did some research about this musician that I have never heard of before. This is quite an amazing story, Josiah is his name and He decided to devote his life to music and dropped out of high school is senior year, live in his car, was basically homeless for about 2 years. Then he caught a break, in maybe one of the less likely ways, the good ol’ American Idol. Then from then on this young man has been taking off, signing contracts, selling albums, writing flawless songs and making money. But the real reason that I linked this video to my blog is because this young musician has a lot of what I am striving to find. This video shows complete passion in his music, something is clearly felt by this musician. You can tell this by the way he seems to “Feel” the music, he seems as though nothing else matters when this creating this music. I wish I were brave enough, passionate enough, talented enough, to drop all that is normal (accepted) in my life to pursue something greater as this man did. He took an extreme risk and suffered for awhile but then because he loved what he was doing so much, came out ahead. I believe Josiah is wise beyond his years, he has accomplished more than most grown people I know, has something I think that we all wish to posses and that Is to love something so much that nothing else matters, nothing seems to be as important as that, and to drop everything in order to make that one dream a reality……Have a good night.
