Hot Sax and Results

 

 

Hello Music Lover!

When I was a kid, I truly believed that "If ANYONE can do it, I can!" (Pretty bold for a little girl!) I was certain that if I just found out HOW to do something and FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS, I could accomplish anything.  

Though naive in some ways, this idea has served me well.  It does provide a powerful foundation for producing results in life.

--Want to get thin and fit? Choose a healthy eating plan and fitness coach. Follow the directions.
--Want to cook a delicious meal? Find a good recipe. Follow the directions.
--Want to learn to play a musical instrument? Enroll with a good music teacher. Follow the directions.
--Want to succeed at your work? Learn the expectations. Follow the directions.

"If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want and copy what they do and you'll achieve the same results."
-- Tony Robbins, motivational author

"I worked hard. Anyone who works as hard as I did can achieve the same results."
-- Johannes Sebastian Bach, composer

Producing results this way sounds straight forward and easy, doesn't it? But we all know that the hardest part is overcoming our RESISTANCE to doing what it takes, to simply following the directions. Pushing myself to do something "not fun" is a drag. But NOT doing it always leads to worse suffering and regret. Over time, I've learned that a few minutes of will power is worth the hours and days of feeling satisfied with myself and my life.

"I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come."
-- Michael Jordan, athlete

"People who produce good results feel good about themselves."
-- Ken Blanchard, businessman

If you are feeling really GOOD about your accomplishments lately, then REWARD yourself with some live music! On the other hand, if you could use some INSPIRATION to get motivated, then listening to some amazing musicians work their magic just may do the trick. Either way, you can't lose!

P.S. "If the person at the wheel refuses to ask for directions, it is time for a new driver." -- Jennifer Granholm, politician
Do you drive around without following directions? If so, this newsletter probably rubbed you the wrong way. You could get off this list, but I betcha won't ask me how...
