Live the Part…and Show Gratitude


No matter what the passion is that drives you, living in that world may seem far away at times. It is important, and this applies not just to the creative world but to any vocation, to live the part of what your passion is. It is very simple to say, very simple to do, but for many this idea seems worlds away.

Think about it, especially those of you making a living or spending far too much of your time earning your way but not jumping into the pool of passion that is rightàthereàin front of-àyou. It is RIGHT THERE. Excuses are just that…excuses. These are bountiful in any cafeteria, pub, or party conversation: “I would love to do that but…” or “I wish I could, but…”, and of course the popular “I just can’t, ok?”.

But you can…of course you can. Will you have a Grammy-winning singing career? Probably not, but if you don’t try, you will never know. If your vocal range limits you to karaoke night at the local pub, then so be it…let that moment be yours. Are you an artist? Create art…even if for only a 10 minute part of your day, it all counts…it all matters.

Lastly…and most importantly…show and express gratitude in everything that you do. In fact, show gratitude for whatever it is that you want to do, say, or accomplish. If you are already expressing thanks for something that has not yet happened, or that you wish to do or have happen, put out that gratuitous energy, as it will come back to you in ways that you least expect.
