CHANGING MY MINDSET

This blog is inspired by two people: my aunt, and my friend Rachel Logan. So in the words of David Brewster: “Buckle up, ‘cuz here we go!”

If I knew then what I know now…

Saw my aunt on Mother’s Day and we proceeded to talk about regular stuff like work, family, friends. We talked about the gig back in November and I said that since then, I’m more relaxed about things. Maybe TOO relaxed? I mentioned that I lost my drive and ambition. She told me that “having drive is over-rated” and that “(with) too much drive, you lose sight of why you want to be successful, which is to be happy”.

Are you paying attention, class?

She went on to say that it’s hard to enjoy success when you use up all that energy, and “time to stop and smell the roses”. WHEW! Yeah I wish I heard these words many years ago. I could have saved myself a lot of time, energy, and grief. But then again, when my wheels were spinning and my ego was on fire, I most likely wouldn’t have listened in the first place.

As for my friend Rachel, I pretty much spilled my guts about how it seems like no musician wants me around and all that. She told me that I said the same thing about five times…oops! I repeat myself because I don’t think people take me seriously, as well as not pay any attention to me in the first place. Rachel said to say things like “That situation is no longer a match” and “That’s no longer an avenue that’s right for me.”

Oh and she told me that stop beating myself up.

Now what do I do for fun?!

But seriously, hearing advice from these two people really opened my eyes to a lot. I have to change my mindset. It’s imperative. Time to do away with how I talk about myself, and how I perceive others. I’m definitely a quirky cat, and I embrace that very much. Whereas others are doing whatever to fit in, I was born to shine, to stand out.

I wear pink sneakers, for Pete’s sake!!!

Also have to learn to manifest better too. Having negative thoughts isn’t conducive, as the universe will not provide. Not at all.

Breathe deep…I got this!
