It’s a Battle…

…to say ‘yes’ to now.

…to say ‘no’ to more stuff.

…to say ‘yes’ to today.

…to stay true to your core.

…to not be swooned by the trend.

…to create value.

…to create, lead, and design a life to mean something.

…for a business to romance its niche.

…to hear your inner-voice over the world’s noise.

…to start.

…to grow.

…to change.

…to love.

…to be brave.

…to leave it all on the field.

Battles seem to be the overwhelming theme of the stories we can’t get enough of.

They are the maps between our wants and what we have.

We all want a story, but we tend to avoid the battle get it.

Can’t have one without the other.

Music: The Gift of the Musician

As much as we may think music about the musician, it’s not about him or her.

When we make our music we find ourself in an experience full of meaning, purpose, and fulfillment. Simultaneously, we’re giving a gift to the world.

Imagine a joy so unexplainable that it spills over and gives joy to those who encounter it.

That is what happens when we make our music. We swap joy.

Giving > Receiving.

Rule # 1 Of Your Music: Insist On Yourself

I believe you are a musician.

I believe there is song after song after song waiting to be awakened in you.

I believe there’s far too many people telling you what to believe your music should be.

I believe your music is your call.

I believe finding your music is your true and holy vocation.

I believe the vocation of finding your music will help move others into the same pursuit, resulting in a world of less noise and more music.

I believe your music is why you are here.

I believe we will all be better after having been exposed to your riffs, rhythm, and rhyme.

Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote, “Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life’s cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another, you have only an extemporaneous, half possession.”

A successful life is one that says ‘here’s my music.’

Emphasis on my (which is yours).

You need not borrow that which is already in you.

What’s Trending?

Google “what’s trending?” and they will provide you about 89,700,000 results in 0.52 seconds.

89,700,000 clicks and options to see what’s up. A never ending game of I Spy.

The Rat Pack, Bob Dylan, Elvis, Madonna, and Hank Williams Sr. never asked this question.

Doing your thing > Searching the trends.

Why?

Because…Standing out > Lost in the mix.
