I haven't blogged in over a month..wow..I didn't realize it was that long. There has been a lot going on and at the same time not much.
I haven't traveled since Colombia and from the looks of things I won't be going on the road til mid April. I have been working nonetheless so I've managed to balance everything.
Been working on a new song, a song I actually sang. But I got some criticism the other day which made me have second thoughts about going through with the whole thing so I decided to ask a couple of my colleagues their professional opinions. I've gotten back good feedback and encouragement.....but I'm still at war with myself. 90% of my whole being wants me to forget about even going there (singing) and the other 10% is fighting really hard to over power the majority. This is something I think will improve my overall performance, bring more to the table when I'm booked for a gig and also have a wider appeal and marketability..So my 10% is holding strong, or at least trying.
It's easy to stay in your comfort zone, never expanding your horizons...Change and growth takes work..I just hope I'm really up for it and get over this self-doubt crap that lingers within, which is more difficult to deal with when faced with criticism especially when you don't like your own voice in the first place ...Yeah, messed up isn't it? But I'm gonna push on through...There has to be a starting point.
My favorite quote is a Chinese Proverb - "If we don't change or direction we're likely to end up where we are headed". And I figure I've been heading in the same direction all along, maybe it's time to take a new "road" and see where that leads.
So what am I up to today? Taking a new road
