The truth about musicians (you might not like it!)

There are too many musicians with $3000 guitars. They’re taking pride in their gear but they’re not taking pride in their socials or promo. There are too many artists with home studios that are not recording tracks every single week. And there are far too many artists who don’t create art on social media. Music careers are built off creation and consistency, NOT off gear and hope. Let that sink in for a moment. This is one of my favourite quotes from Mark Manson which will hit home pretty hard. "We are inconsequential cosmic dust, bumping and milling about on a tiny blue speck." Mind blown. What this means is what you do doesn't matter. Whether your music does well or not, the Universe doesn't care. We are all alive on this planet for a short space of time, creating purposes for ourselves and telling ourselves that we're trying to achieve our dreams. So now you might be thinking... "If it doesn't matter then why should I even bother?" Because it still matters to you. Waking up and bringing purpose into your life matters to you. But your purpose means absolutely nothing to someone else or anything else outside of your immediate circle. And when we really bring that in, it's the most powerful and incredible tool imaginable. - Who cares whether one person on Instagram didn't like your song. - Or who cares that your neighbour thinks you're a bit weird for choosing to make music over working that 9-5. - Or who cares about whether you're where your parents think you should be in life. It doesn't matter what they think. And it doesn't matter whether you succeed or not.  We're on this planet for a really small amount of time. So give it your all and go for it. For you. No one else. Thinking like this will change your life. Quite frankly, the judgement of others can do one. You do what you love and keep pushing for your goals. No one else is going to do it for you and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks either. Lastly, don't be scared. Fear only comes from not knowing what comes next. Fear cripples you from chasing your dreams and prevents you from making the most of your life. Once you die, you're not going to remember for the number of times you failed or for every mistake you made. So make the most of your time and dedication right now and chase for what you want. It’s down to YOU and what YOU want from life. Stop caring about what doesn’t matter and is too small for you. Start taking action and building the life you want to live. If you want to release that song, release it. If you want to spend three hours adjusting that snare sound, do it. If you want the world to hear your music, get started.
