My
perspective regarding existence is relational and the relationship is such that
music has constantly redefined. I have come to the conclusion that every
question of human interaction with reality, fiction or fantasy has a musical
answer. From words in a song to the powerful effect of the combination of sound
produced by instruments and the result of mixing at production, it is
undeniable that the success of a song or any musical piece cannot be totally
measured ever! This is because, music has a characteristic feature of effects
and impact in ways that may not be known or accepted for a long time.
“Thinking
you’re not good for you, but you are good for me” I am listening to this and am
feeling the pressure of measuring up to my peers and celebrities I admire
greatly. In my mind, I am one who seeks to improve on his personality but the
song offers me the benefit of benefiting from contentment with my individual
qualities which I often detest.
In a word of
great achievers, innovators and productive professionals, the very beginning of
success is learning to appreciate me, who I am and what my emotional cravings
are. Don’t live in denial man! My words to the man in the mirror; accept who
you are and be the best at what you want to be. Quickly I realize that thinking
am not good for myself is very wrong because am sure better and indeed the best
for more people than I can count.
The other
day, walking down a busy street I met “the girls”-all four of them; “too thick”
“too short” “too slim” “too tall” each one needing to be what the other wished
they weren’t, with a speedy reflex I contemplated being ‘rich &handsome’ or
‘tough & muscular’ or ‘bald & pot-bellied’ or… then came these words to
me, from me…stop!!! You just cannot be everything to everyone at the same time.
The content of a person’s character is a better reason for selection.
Seeking to
improve on my personality is an innate human identity because nature does not
support my desire to remain on a spot so I keep growing till am old and gray.
Creativity is a gift in this world we live in and we are to develop, to improve
and to elevate. As I get on with all of these, it is imperative to be mindful
of the need to fully grasp and utilize the potentials in my current
circumstance by being respectful of myself and others, not relegating anyone or
anything to the background just because they are not, (seemingly) good enough.
