You Will Be…

…what you have been becoming.

Or put another way, you are what you have been.

So what do you want to be?

Maybe the more important question is are you willing to become that which you want to be?

We follow those who courageously dive into the art of becoming.

Truths:

…Tomorrow tends to feed off today.

…Gradually we are something then suddenly the world notices it.

…We, eventually, get what we want. (Most wants are shallow, easy, & microwaveable) (Which is why we go back to them)

…Your dreams are valid.

The Norms

Your norms got you here. Wherever you’re holding a phone, wherever you’re at a desk, or wherever a computer is in your lap is a byproduct of your norms.

And your norms will get you where you’re going.

Here’s some math: The time you normally get up + The way you normally respond + The way you normally react + The way you normally eat + The way you normally drink + The way you normally love + The way normally see the world + The way you normally feel moments + The way you normally touch lives + The way you normally hear + What you normally read + What you normally watch + Who you normally hang out with + The words you normally exchange in the mirror = you in your normal state.

The more we look at what has been the norm and the more we look into what is the norm, now, the more we will see what the norm will always be.

It’s frightening to look sometimes at our norms, is it not?

But what if frightening offered a shadow of health?

I just have to believe the ‘yet to be’ > the ‘already’, but the ‘yet to be’ that we all dream of is simply not possible with the norms that have already gotten us here.

Remember…change is synonymous with life, beauty, presence, meaning, purpose, and fulfillment.

Would You Rather….?

Would you rather be able to say “I’m glad I did” or “I wish I had”?

Would you rather have a short-term fix or be long-term greedy?

Would you rather have money or meaning?

Or would you rather pursue meaning on the way to something that is profitable?

The scary thing is this is the game most of us haven’t realized we’re playing. And here’s a shot of truth: choosing not to play doesn’t get you out of the game.

Show me your choices and I’ll show you the music you are making and the music you will have chosen to be made.

There isn’t much that should surprise us.

The Youniversity of Why

You and why.

To define one is to define them both.

Show me a man or woman with a ‘why’ and I’ll show you someone who isn’t wondering what, when, where, or how to do their some-thing.

Your something is your why.

Your why is the theme of your life. Your why is your constant living and breathing verb. Your why is your metaphor – your meaning, purpose, and fulfillment that sails just below the surface. Your why isn’t who you think you are or who you think we think you are – it is simply…who…you…are…meant…to be…and become.

Which leads us back to you.

So why you? In short, only you can fulfill such a unique, stand-alone, and divine cause.

And herein lies the holiest of all pursuits: that we would become what we are meant to be.

When They Say Cliche

A cliché or cliche is an expression, idea, or element of an artistic work which has become overused to the point of losing its original meaning, or effect, and even, to the point of being trite or irritating, especially when at some earlier time it was considered meaningful or novel.

The first problem with the concept of cliché is that those that claim something to be cliché are the non-believers. They probably never tried whatever they’re mocking and, in doing so, have never tasted, seen, and experienced its fruit and/or benefit. The second problem is that they want to put their disbelief on you. If they don’t believe, then you shouldn’t either.

Here’s the catch…

There will come a day when you offer the world your music and, probably, most will claim your venture into such creativity and offering to the world to be cliché.

However, part of music being music is that it’s not for the masses and some will call it noise. It’s for the unique few…even if that means millions…it’s not for billions.

Part of the richness of life are those joy swapping moments with the people who believe what you believe and that rally behind, around, and in your music.

Outsiders will call letting your music play cliché.

We’ll call it fulfillment.
