Tuesday I
wrote about listening to your voice and following the path it may so gently
provide you or in other cases not so gently whacks you aside the head. I wrote
about this concept before, but probably mistakenly called it serendipity, but by
whatever name you call it, last night was another vivid instance of this
phenomenon.
I was talking
with my wife about the entrepreneurial spirit and how I continue to feel the
urge for it to come out, but can’t quite get it clear enough to bring forward.
She said something along the lines of “you’ve had it ever since I’ve known you
and it’s never come out.” Basically stating that I should focus on what I am
doing now and not be troubled with trying to figure out what it is that’s
continually making itself known. I responded, a bit tongue-in-cheek, “you just
want me to die with my music in me.” Not five minutes later as she perused
Facebook, she came across the following:
Dr.
Wayne Dwyer just posted this brilliant status: “That music that you hear inside
of you urging you to take risks and follow your dreams is your intuitive
connection to the purpose in your heart since birth. Be enthusiastic about all
you do. Have that passion with the awareness that the word enthusiasm literally
means ‘the God (enthos) within (iasm).’” Don’t die with your music still in
you.”
Now I realize
some will say this is a happy coincidence and nothing more, and while that may
be true, I may do as another blogger wrote yesterday, “maybe I need to take my
own advice” and listen to that voice a little closer. We all should, so as to not deprive the world of our talents and gifts.
