\u201cDon\u2019t die with your music still inside.\u00a0 Listen to your intuitive inner voice and find what passion stirs your soul.\u201d\u00a0 —\u00a0 <\/em>Wayne Dyer<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Heart<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

What is YOUR music? \u00a0Do you have an intuitive inner voice and passion that stirs your soul? What were you meant to do or dreamed of doing?\u00a0 What are you passionate about?\u00a0 What comes natural to you?\u00a0 Why are you not following your inner voice? \u00a0Have you taken time to listen to that inner voice?<\/span><\/p>\n

Are excuses holding you back?\u00a0 Many of those excuses come from years of hearing them from others and telling yourself those same excuses.\u00a0 Why are you believing them as fact and letting them control your life?\u00a0 Ask yourself if those excuses are even true?\u00a0 Did you pick up some beliefs over the years and are letting them hold you back?\u00a0 You need to take responsibility for achieving your dreams.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

What excuses are you using?\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Are you blaming others?<\/strong><\/u>\u00a0 Why are you giving others your power?\u00a0 Where is that getting you?\u00a0 It is a waste of your energy and your dreams.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

It is too difficult.<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 You have no idea if this excuse is even true.\u00a0 Look for opportunities in your path and move.\u00a0 If you go into it looking for the obstacles, you will find obstacles and overlook the opportunities. <\/span><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t afford it?<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 Have you tried?\u00a0 Look for options.\u00a0 Do what you can and keep your eyes open.\u00a0 Do not let others tell you that it is too difficult and you cannot afford it. \u00a0Do they really know the truth? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No one will help me.<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 Have you asked for help?\u00a0 Actively look for those interested in helping.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

I am not smart enough.<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 Who tells you\u00a0 that?\u00a0 You?\u00a0 Then stop it; it is an excuse not a fact.\u00a0 It takes different types of intelligence for different passions.\u00a0 When you are doing something you are passionate about, it just comes naturally for you.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

I am afraid and need a safety net.<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 Then set up the safety net but start moving forward.\u00a0 Don\u2019t use this as an excuse to not move at all.\u00a0 The common saying is \u201cone step at a time.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

I am too busy and don\u2019t have the energy.<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 It is amazing how we can find the energy when we start doing something we love.\u00a0 Make the time.\u00a0 Stop spending so much time on ruminating about things that are not productive, untrue, and are holding you back.\u00a0 Get out of the past and the future; this is where depression and anxiety lie.\u00a0 Get into the present and MOVE!<\/span><\/p>\n

Where did your beliefs and excuses come from…your past?\u00a0 Are they even true today or have you just convinced yourself they are true?\u00a0 Why are you keeping them?\u00a0 What is their value?\u00a0 Are these beliefs just holding you back?\u00a0 <\/span>What would your life look like if you let them go?\u00a0 Can you change?\u00a0 Of course you can change!\u00a0 You can always change yourself, it is others you cannot change.\u00a0 This leaves you with the big question: <\/span>Are you willing?<\/span><\/p>\n

Become conscious every moment about the excuses you are telling yourself.\u00a0 Learn to let them go and find your passion in this moment. This will lead you to your music!<\/span><\/p>\n
