when the underground opened sleep on the Circle Line until 12:00 go to a session and then repeat it wasn't that bad how his life changed one of the most important steps Ed Sheeran made for his music career was posting videos of him playing his music online that's how he got noticed by the rapper example and made connections with him the rapper liked his music so much that he invited Ed Sheeran on a tour with him soon the world was just starting to notice the ginger boy with the golden voice this was a stepping stone that made Ed Sheeran to dream bigger and try even harder for his music he took another bold step for his career and moved to LA without place to stay or any connections he started to send his music to anyone but to no avail but one day he was brought to the stage when he was on a show of a local radio host he was petrified but started playing everyone was surprised by his talent and he got a big applause but something more important happened that Sheeran was spotted by Jamie Fox's manager he introduced him to Jamie Foxx and the actor was so impressed with Edie that he invited him to stay in his home and use his recording studio in September 2011 was released his debut album plus this album topped the UK and Australian charts reached number five in the US his second album multiply is one of his most popular works as of 2016 the album has sold more than 8 million copies all over the world becoming one of the best-selling albums ever he won the Grammy Award for the best song of the year in 2017 was released his third album divide that was ranked as the most streamed album of the year with 3.1 billion streams the amazing success of Ed Sheeran didn't happen overnight he was faced with a lot of struggles on his way to fulfilling his dream he started as a bullied young boy with big dream he was on a verge of quitting where he was homeless and didn't have money for food but he didn't people often look at other successful people and just assume they got their success overnight or they were just lucky but in reality he took really hard work dedication and failures to get where they are now people often just see the destination and not the journey you will have setbacks in your life but that is part of your journey have you ever regretted not trying something in your life it can be as little as not asking the special someone on a date or not having the courage to speak up on a meeting that feeling of constantly wondering what could have been if I just tried will keep eating you even years in the future doing nothing might feel like the right choice at the moment not looking far down the road but it will come back to haunt you in your future how can you avoid that feeling of regret by just trying you don't have to do something huge and epic just to sit down and make a plan with small steps you can easily follow every day that will take you closer and closer in achieving your dreams and be consistent if only you knew how close you were if only you knew how important and crucial is that one more interview that one more workout that one more phone call just a few more nights working on your dreams often we give a far too soon despite the uncontrollable feeling of wanting to just give up it's actually the most important time not to we are not able to see what the future holds for us but what if we try taking that first step toward our dream because if not that feeling of regret eventually will hit you hard what if I just stuck with it and kept pushing what if I hadn't given up where I would be in life right now what if so what's your story.
