After the breakup, he, his mom and younger sister relocated to Knoxville, where Karen worked tirelessly to provide for her children. Meanwhile, Kenny threw himself into sports and by high school, he was a standout athlete—especially on the football field. He's said that the sport instilled a work ethic that stuck with him for life. "I never dreamed of being a singer as a kid," he later told Country Music magazine. "Never gave it a thought."
After graduating from college in 1990, Chesney made the bold decision to chase that fire he felt on stage. He packed his bags and moved to Nashville, where he spent years grinding in the city's bars—often playing four-hour sets with a tip jar in front of him at local dives. Two years later, he signed his first publishing deal, but it's not what you think: He got $150 a week. It was barely enough to survive, but just enough to keep his dream alive.

Quote of the Day by Kenny Chesney
“Whatever you dream, if that’s what makes your heart race, go for it. Know it’s hard, and people won’t always help you, but it’s worth the sacrifice and fighting for.”
Parade/CanvaPro
Without hard work and determination—playing at dive bars and hustling to scrape by—he wouldn't have developed into an artist who regularly sells out stadiums. Without sacrifice, he surely would have quit along the way. And of course, without passion, he wouldn't feel the fire in his heart that made him keep fighting. No matter what you're dreaming about, if you work hard, and have patience, passion and determination throughout your journey, incredible things can happen.
