THE VALUE OF GOALS AND DREAMS
It’s hard to get going today….feeling lazy.. Saw Ricki Lee Jones last night in concert ….Great performance and she was accompanied by great musicians. It kind of got me thinking about my own musicianship…..How things have changed.
I don’t play at the level I once did but it comes back quick with a project to work on. It’s amazing what a motivator a project in the form of a goal a dream can be. My philosophy is that if you have a goal or dream it doesn’t matter if you obtain it because once you do you will have new goals and dreams.
If you are constantly looking from one goal to the next you will always live in the future. What is important is who you become in the process…. how you grow. For me if I have a goal of a recording project and a date for the studio, I know will become the best musician I can be during this time period and afterwards. And in the process of going for it my confidence level will soar and I will be more confident to share what I do…I will also have my eye open for more opportunities…more option…my universe will be expanded. And that will transfer to other areas of your life.
I will feel totally different about my musicianship. What is an area of your life where you can expand who you are and become more confident in the process? What goals or dreams do you have in this arena? Stay focused and live your dream. Let me know.
