“When people ask me why I run, I tell them, there's not really a reason, it's just the adrenalin when you start, and the feeling when you cross that finish line, and know that you are a winner no matter what place you got.”
― Courtney Parsons
Choosing to live life as a musician is like running then. First let me say that there are many different types of musicians and many different attitudes regarding what that life should look like. As a musician sometimes, or in my case many times and over many years, you must learn to fly without a net, or run without a finish line. In any field of work there are challenges. How do we go from living in survival mode to enjoying life?
First I can say that we need faith. What is going on in our mind definitely has something to do with what is going on in our life. We have to be able to take a look at ourselves and be honest about what we see. We are not a hero if we are keeping ourselves from being successful and happy to make someone else feel better. Two negatives don’t make a positive in life. You just have more negative. Next, the false nobility attributed to the starving artist has gone on long enough. So many artists poopoo the idea of financial success; the same financial success they envy whether they want to realize it or not. After all what is the shame of earning a decent living, providing for your children and enjoying life doing what you love? Why is it so hard to allow yourself to see yourself as great just as you are? Why wouldn’t we all want to be our best, at whatever we do, everyday of our lives? That is a recipe for success. I am officially inviting all types of success in my life right now!
Of course we all have challenges. Everyday those challenges show up so we can prove what we are made of. Today, choose something that you want to be your best at. Do it! I promise when you do, you will feel like a winner. That’s how it starts. Just keep going!
Namaste!
