15 Things You Should Give Up To Be Happy*
9. Give up your resistance to change.
“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls” - Joseph Campbell
First of all, let me apologize to all my readers for the gap in postings. I was producing an event which required considerably more time than usual because I was on a video editing learning curve. Immediately after the event, literally, I got myself to the airport to fly to Las Vegas. Since I have been here I have been in a WiFi no-zone. So today I write from the green room at the Caesar’s Palace Colosseum where it is very cosy but more importantly very quiet.
On my first morning here in Las Vegas I went to the gym with Marc as is our usual routine. On our way out we ran into one of our friends. Since I am here because we are returning to the studio to record more tracks with horns and percussion, we were talking about that and the writing process. So today’s quote describes accurately what happened to me.
There was a time in my life where I forgot about my dream. I did not forget I love music, and I did not forget I love to sing, and I did not forget I wanted to write my own songs one day, but I had lost my connection to my passion because I had lost my connection to myself. I had poured so much money into my last recording project that now I was focussing a lot on the money matters: getting gigs and selling product. I didn’t even notice that the shift was drawing me away from my joy of making music. The more I concentrated on getting results, the more stressed I became. My expectations were building walls so high I could not see beyond them. That stress was all consuming. First it consumed my creativity. Eventually it consumed a lot more. After barely surviving what I refer to as the worst year of my life, I somehow found the courage to choose myself. I chose to pursue my happiness.
The process of that decision opened a door. Then it opened many doors. It even opened doors I had never imagined I would walk through and doors are appearing every day.
A few years ago, I never would have imagined the bliss I am feeling right now. Remain connected with your heart’s desires and then open your eyes. There might just be a secret door you never noticed waiting around the corner.
Namaste!
