Heavy D Said Believe In Ridiculous Dreams Everyday
First and foremost I want to say R.I.P to the legendary Dwight Arrington Myers, aka Heavy D. Heavy D was an inspiration to many including myself and I’m writing this blog post today because I read a very interesting article Heavy D wrote. I would like to share that with you here today because I think it could impact people’s lives in some way or at least give you a different perspective on how your dreams can really come true if you put your mind to it.
Who Is Heavy D And What Does This Have To Do With Dreams?
Heavy D was born May 24, 1967 in Mandeville Jamaica, the son of Eulahlee Lee, a nurse, and Clifford Vincent Myers, a machine technician. His family moved to Mount Vernon, New York, in the early 1970s, where he was raised. In the late 80’s Heavy D formed a group by the name of Heavy D & The Boyz which released its first album in 1987. Heavy D would eventually become a superstar actor, rapper, record producer and singer. People don’t realize that Heavy D gained even more fame by singing the theme song for the hilarious television show In Living Color and also MADtv, and Heavy D also performed the rap on Michael Jackson‘s hit single “Jam” as well as sister Janet Jackson’s hit single “Alright”. He also starred in the recent movie Tower Heist which features Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy. Long story short, this man was super talented, he enjoyed helping others and he was loved by many.
Heavy D Befriends A Young Man And Becomes His Mentor.
The article I was reading was Heavy D talking about a young man he met that had huge dreams and was ambitious, tenacious and wanted to rule the world. The young man grew up in the same town as Heavy D and even though Heavy D was a couple years older, the young man reminded him of his self. Heavy D decided to take this kid under his wing and mentor him. At this time Heavy D was starting to realize his dreams were coming of age. Both had much in common like: Believing in themselves when no one else would. They often felt like an outcast and alone because there was nobody around to share their “RIDICULOUS” dreams with and because most people couldn’t see that far into the future. No one wanted to hang around them because people found them annoying or crazy. They would NEVER QUIT DREAMING regardless of anyone’s opinion about them and they would rather be alone than give up on their dreams.
Believe In “Ridiculous” Dreams…By Heavy D
As time went by both of them become great friends and some people even considered them brothers because of how close they were. They would call each other’s mom “MOM” like one big happy family. Heavy D said they would sit in his mom’s basement and talk so much shit about what they were going to do with their first million dollars and the types of cars and houses they would buy. Heavy D goes on to say that they had a lot of nerve saying all that stuff, but that’s what it took. NERVE! They really believed that all of their dreams were going to come true no matter the course. Like they say pure passion will lead you directly to your dreams and that is what Heavy D and the young man eventually accomplished.
So Who Is This Mystery Young Man?
Today, this young man is one of the most powerful, hard working, famous people on the planet. The young man has done things that Heavy D never imagined doing himself and he continues to break down barriers. He has faced adversity, hate, jealousy, ridicule and pain but he still manages to maintain his drive and continues to believe in his ridiculous dreams everyday. It’s funny and ironic how Heavy D goes on to say that the young man has been a mentor to him without him even knowing it.
Here is a ‘powerful quote’ and the conclusion of Heavy D’s article about the young man.
“I will never lay claim to the heights that he has brought himself to but I will say that if you or anyone you know has a “ridiculous” dream remember, it doesn’t take much to encourage someone to go for that dream and this brother is living proof.”
So, here I stand today proudly in the shadows of a true dreamer.
I salute you Mr. Sean “Diddy” Combs. And may you continue to dream, the “RIDICULOUS” dream…
The point I’m making here is we as entrepreneurs need to help as many people as we can because it’s not about us. Our goal should be to help others succeed and not think about ourselves all the time. Money will eventually trickle down to us faster than you think if you have that unselfish attitude. Imagine finding the next ridiculous dreamer/superstar that you embrace and they become a 7-figure earner! How would that make you feel and how would that help your business? That would be an awesome testimonial and instant credibility.
Heavy D and Diddy had a vision and they did whatever it took to get there without quitting. Who’s to say we can’t accomplish what Heavy D and Diddy did when it comes to our dreams. In my opinion, the more people we Empower as entrepreneurs, the more ridiculous dreams can become reality ONLY IF YOU BELIEVE!
We love you Heavy D and you will be missed dearly.
R.I.P
