Oui! Si! Ja!
It is so true .... As I prepare...Yes! Oui! Si! Ja!<br /><br />It is so true .... As I prepare for the birth of our first child, I have all these musical ideas in my head that I want to explore (composition, arranging, teaching, performing on my terms, recording projects)....The mind and soul of an artist must go on. <br /><br />Too often singers measure their success by winning a competition, music contract etc .... I measure my success against my values, what I want out of life and what I want to achieve...<br /><br />As a voice teacher, there is SO much that I want to learn in order to guide my pupils towards THEIR own success .....<br /><br />Race ?

Whomever is left standing at the end and doesn't jump ship when things get tough is (one of) the winner(s). <br /><br />There are a lot of ways to find success as an artist but there are significantly more ways to give up and go work in Insurance and so although everyone's journey is different, the important part is, to my mind, sticking with it albeit with enough flexibility to, as you put it, enjoy the moment.<br /><br />Really great post!Gerrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280886972144795961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495622859323058834.post-31358016006766356172010-01-07T17:12:35.780-05:002010-01-07T17:12:35.780-05:00I love this post.

I'm still asking and re-asking those questions... <br />As to the journey not being a race, I can speak to that from my own experience, as a late starter who has luckily found success, at an age when many have given up; well, there's always hope!!!Katy Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495622859323058834.post-71374761013820513412010-01-07T16:23:57.195-05:002010-01-07T16:23:57.195-05:00I needed to hear this today.
