they say that if your dream does not
scare you then your dream is not big
enough
so clearly dreams and fears co-exist
and the wealth that you feed is the
world
that wins hi
my name is komodzo my idea pig
mina tipi ends
the one whom you just heard saying is
jonas
jonas is not my stage name dunas is much
more than that
jonas is the voice of truth
inside of me that belongs to a me
that is healthier wealthier
steadier and happier you see
music is not my dream
it’s oneness is it is through soreness
that i realized that
everything i ever wanted
was on the other side of fear
and i had to go through my fears to get
its owners
there was no other way
dreams fears
as a singer i struggled a lot with my
voice after beating it up and trying to
mold it to what i thought when nicer
better voices are there
i got myself into a struggle and a place
of frustration where i really just
wanted to give up and give in and give
space to those who are better than me
but then it was through meditation that
i had a voice within me say that forget
about how how you think your voice
should sound like
let your voice lead you
to yourself a couple of years ago
i decided to sign up for a festival
i wasn’t ready i rehearsed and rehearsed
and rehearsed
as the date came closer i realized that
i am not ready
i was tempted to back out but as i got
on that stage i proceeded
to sing off-key
and my worst fear came to pass a fear
of failing publicly
why am i telling you the story i’m
telling you the story because
on the very same stage where i failed
it was the very same stage where jones
was birthed
you see had i not gone on to be on that
stage
i would still be waiting to be perfect
and to
perfect my voice to get on stage sonus
wouldn’t be
dreams fears
so why are our dreams so threatening so
scary how do we get to a point where we
just
spin out of control into deceitful lies
that we tell
to ourselves how do we get to a place
where
we dwell in i’m not good enough i’m
i’m not clever enough i’m not ready i’m
not pretty enough
how do we get to a point where
we stop running and we stop hiding
i wanted to run i wanted to hide i
didn’t want to show myself to the world
but then i dream
when i close my eyes
i see a me that is
fearless and powerful and me that can
take anything on
but as soon as i open my eyes
i’m back to the fearful me the one who
just backs out
i close my eyes again and i’m in my
power
again i’m fearless again
the question is how do i stay there how
do i stay
in that place of power or fearlessness
both of them are me both of them are a
voice within me
i know both of them i close my eyes
i see one i open my eyes i feel the
other
how do i allow my dreams
to be revealed by my fears when i ask
these questions
it is when it became apparent to me that
there are two ways of living
you either live from the inside out
or you live from the outside in
you see fear is living from the outside
in and shrinking
allowing outside voices to determine who
you are to dictate to you
who you are dreams
is living from the inside out
you’re expanding you’re allowing your
inner voice to
lead you and guide you and manifest who
you are
but with fears
you are allowing what already exists to
tell you how far you can go
while a dream lets you reach inside of
yourself and that crazy idea
pushes you dreams are inborn
from a within-ness while fear
fear is taught to us it is from the
outside
so how do we get
to a point where we can
live a dreams over fear existence
as i was sitting and thinking about it i
realized that
there were three steps for me to take
the first step was to get to a point
where i understood that
the story that you tell yourself
is very very important that mind
chatter those beliefs the things that
you say
about yourself your words
the second thing that i realized that
there is a narration and there is a
narrator
and you are the narrator you are the one
who writes the script
you are the one who writes those lines
and determine
what role you fit in into those lines
i mean how many times how many times
have people
less talented than you less capable less
qualified
seize the opportunities that you wanted
and you didn’t try for because
your script said you are not good enough
and three you have to play the part
you have to get into that character
you have to believe that character know
that character
be that character and act
take a step and act fake it
till you make it if you have to but do
not wait for some miracle
to make you ready we are never ready
when fear comes knocking
don’t keep silent
speak up say something
it is too late you’re too old
listen to jonas
you cannot make it
you’re not beautiful enough you’re not
talented enough listen
to jones
you are enough don’t
bend into the wind don’t dance
to their tune those who repaint you out
of existence
playing false gods erasing your lineage
fight fight for your essence of
existence
your persistence to stay authentic
is your resistance
you are enough you’re enough
[Music]
is my daughter’s name turned into a song
botello means
adequate full fulfilled complete
enough
when i hear her sing the narration with
her tiny
voice my heart just swells up
i don’t want her to ever doubt her with
i don’t want her to ever wonder about
her value
i want her to grow up knowing that
she does not have to stay in any
situation
atmosphere in any state
any title and a relationship that makes
her feel like she is less
of what she is that make her feel like
she’s not enough
and sonus is there to help her to find
her voice
a voice that tells her that she
can take her part in a space in the
world
of a bigger plot we all can it is not
too late
it is not too far
so what are your fears what
are your dreams
are you going to live a life of fears
over dreams
or are you going to live a life
of dreams of a fear dreams
of a panic attacks dreams over
depression oppression dreams
over self-pity dreams over
toxic relationships addictions
dreams of fear
because we are worth our dreams
you
