The Music Inside You

Music is inside everyone; I am learning this from my very talented and musical wife. But what if you’ve been told that you are not musical?

Music is more than rhythm, music is more than being able to tap in time or sing in tune. Music isn’t even that thing right at the bottom of your soul. Music is the cry of your heart , music is your SOUL itself.

I feel musical when I walk, when I write, when I act, when I’m with people; music happens when your soul comes alive.

Where is the “Music” in you?

Then Life Happens

Today’s guest post is written by Darren Sproat; an IT Manager and blogger from Regina who rocks inspiration and hope at Then Life Happens. You may connect with Darren on Twitter, @DarrenSproat.

 

Some of the most well thought out plans, goals and aspirations can be derailed by an unexpected event or circumstances beyond our control; it is called life and, in my experience, it is likely that all of us will come to a fork in the road at some time, make a decision to go one way and think at a later date that the other way may have been better.

Life has a tendency of testing us at every opportunity and being prepared for the unexpected circumstances of life is often easier said than done, especially if we ignore the opportunities to learn from our experiences along the way.

  • There’s more than one way from A to B – it doesn’t matter what you are aspiring towards, there’s more than one way to get there from here and, you just have to think about it.
  • Every person’s journey in life is different – just because something works for someone else doesn’t mean it’s going to work for you.
  • Focus on the 90 – focus on that part of your life you are grateful for and visualize and expect the best possible outcomes for that which you wish to achieve.

I am betting that you have a story of overcoming adversity to share and, perhaps, a few lessons you learned along the way that might be helpful for the rest of us.

Death… Why what your buddy says at your funeral doesn’t matter

Today’s Guest Post is written by  Sammy Abebiyi a college paster in Toledo. Check out Sammy’s Website here. You can also follow him on Twitter.

Because a friend of mine died in a plane crash, he got 3 minutes on the nightly news right before the weather… that’s 3 more ‘before-the-weather-report’ minutes than you and I will get when we kick the bucket.

When you die, people will; say nice things at your funeral, tweet ‘I miss you’s’ on your profile, send flowers to your loved ones and shed some tears BUT after a short while they ALL move on to the weather, the basketball game and watching ‘hide yo wife’ on you-tube.

The only ones that are stuck for a long time in the season of your death and can’t move on to normal everyday ‘poking their friends on face-book’ life are your spouse, kids, parents, closest friends and loved ones.

The irony is most of us spend much of our lives and time not only trying to impress those who will move on shortly after our death but we often disregard and take for granted those who will never be the same when we are gone.

What if you trade in living for the nice five minute speech your ‘buddy’ is gonna give at our funeral for living in a way that makes the time you have with your loved ones REALLY count?

Carpe Diem… [with those who will miss you the most when you die.]

How to find your creative flow

Imagine living for a day fully immersed in the river of your creative flow. Imagine never doubting, never stopping, always believing, always imagining.

I imagine you would feel more like a child than an adult?

What things can you do today to unlock and release all the creative words within you?

What works for you?

Remember as your creativity begins to flow it should make you a better person, not a more selfish one; you will probably find yourself talking to strangers, being more playful and unrestrained. When your creativity flows it bleeds into every area.

Creative Blog

Do you write a creative blog?

If you are an actor, an artist, a painter, a musician or a filmmaker stuck in a period of waiting then I would really encourage you to start your own creative blog.

You may not be able to record or publish right now but you still have the freedom to develop your own creativity.

A creative space (a blog) is absolutely free, you can build your own audience(popularity) via face-book, twitter and other social networks; never before in history have you had this opportunity.

creative blog allows you to express yourself in an infinite number of ways, through words, stories, poems, pictures, photos, songs etc. You don’t have to wait for the casting director to call you back anymore (See these creative promises).

Don’t be a prisoner to an old system which is crumbling before your eyes; begin today with your own creative blog or Guest-blog here.

Tell your story in a single sentence blog

What is your blog sentence?

Can you some up your own blog, your project, your film, your career, your dream, or your life in a single sentence blog? Sometimes we think that to know ourselves (or our product) is to be able to describe something in great detail, with many articulate words. I don’t believe this is so?

Knowledge that simply comes from the brain is confusing and complex; knowledge that comes from the heart is simple and conveys great knowing.

Before you write anything, try to get your story down to a single sentence. Let this sentence be like a hook or a magnet (not a summary) that authentically draws other “people” into your story.

Practice by writing your story below in a one sentence blog.
