Crystal Clear
When I was 12 years old I started playing the drums - jazz & blues, big band music, broadway theatre musicals, gospel rock, pipe & drum bands, marching bands, concert and orchestra performances… I played it all and loved every minute of it for many years.
Then it happened - 15 years ago I stopped. You know how it is - stuff happens in life and we take different paths. But my passion for music and the love of performing never left me. So - guess what?
After a 15 year "break" my friend Crystal (a fabulous vocal artist and musician) got me to pick up my drumsticks again and get back in the music game. And I am LOVING it.
So why am I taking you down memory lane and talking about music?
At a meeting of my local chapter of the International Coach Federation I heard a quote from a great musician. Here it is - "Perfection is not to be gained at the cost of the music. Let the music come out and soar."
Wow - what have I missed out on because I thought it had to be perfect before I jumped in? What could I accomplish - music, dreams, aspirations - if I simply let it out and let it soar?
Never doubt the capacity of your dream. Let it out and watch it soar.
