It All Starts With This One Question
I’ve mentioned before of being a member of the faculty at The School of Life (TSOL). Not to pitch it to you, but I believe they’re providing a decent service that more and more of us can benefit from, so I’ll tell you a little about it. It was set up by the philosopher and… Continue reading

How Doing This One Thing Can Make Life So Much Easier
So many of us are afraid of doing this one thing. Without it we get nowhere, or we get somewhere slowly; and the road was probably a treacherous one when it didn’t need to be that treacherous. We’re afraid to do this one thing because we’re afraid of how we might look in the eyes… Continue reading

Don’t Be A Barnacle
Our family and friends think they know what’s best for us, just as we think we know what’s best for them. We willingly advise those of whom we care for, with the hope of steering them to safety. But what happens when they shock us by doing something that alters our perception of them? Do… Continue reading

The Path of Least Resistance
My family and friends thought I was crazy. They really did. Breaking the news to them was harder than I thought it would be. The majority of them reacted in a way that was the very antithesis of supportive. They couldn’t understand why I had suddenly decided to turn my back on the very thing… Continue reading

Be Honest with Yourself
I’m aware I’m repeating myself here, but it was only when my dream came true did I realize I no longer wanted it. Nobody could’ve changed my mind when I was on my quest. Getting a recording contract was my mission. If somebody had’ve said, “What if you don’t actually want it?” I sincerely wouldn’t… Continue reading

It took patience, self-confidence, persistence, perseverance, determination, drive, stubbornness, hope, faith, imagination, creativity, self-belief, passion, joy, trust – all of that stuff, and more. With all… Continue reading

When the Dream Becomes a Reality
I have mentioned before, in a previous post, how, when I signed along the dotted line of a recording contract, the dotted line I had envisioned for nine years, I was overcome by an unexpected numbness. I had caught up with my dream; it had caught up with me. We were intertwined, dancing together, and… Continue reading

Others Can’t Provide You with Self-Belief
I’ve already gone into some detail about what I did to finally get a recording contract. Like, for example, how I envisioned the end result, as if it had already come to pass, and how I shared my passion with the world. When people asked, “What do you want to do?” I would proudly answer,… Continue reading

Stubborn Persistance
Being stubborn might not be an attractive character trait, but it can prove invaluable to dreamers. I was often told, “If everything got handed to you on a plate, it would lose its value.” Being in hot pursuit of what we want, thinking about it on a regular basis, being unbelievably stubborn that we refuse… Continue reading

Don’t Overprotect Your Dreams
When we find the courage, the motivation and the inspiration to go for something, we need to protect these attributes from outer and inner influences. It’s so easy to let them slip through our fingers, and when that happens there’s a danger of us turning our backs on our dreams and aspirations for good. When… Continue reading
