My dream of becoming the musicians choice

I used to have a dream of becoming a professional musician, or more like the world’s most famous guitar player, winning MTV and musician choice awards. Well, it didn’t actually turn out that way.

Going to a music school in my home town I soon learned that I was a terrible musician. I couldn’t play the guitar at all, and I know my classmates were making fun of me behind my back. That hurt my feelings, because I really wanted my dream to come true. But with most dreams you wake up, and so did I. Fortunately, I found a different passion, and that passion was for singing.

Singing was something that was a lot easier for me than playing the guitar, and I have no idea why. Perhaps it was because of the technical nature of playing the guitar, perhaps I have voice chords of gold. Anyhow, I soon became the sing star of high school and found myself in a studio with the latest music recording software. This turned out to be one of several times I recorded in a studio, however, this dream too came to an end when grown up life put its chains on me.

It’s strange how some people make it in life and thousands do not. Living out your dream really takes courage, discipline, and the strength to go against the herd. Herd mentality is one of the biggest enemies of all accomplishments, so if you want to make a difference in life it is usually a good sign that walking the complete opposite way as everyone else.

Looking back at the time in a music recording studio, playing concerts in front of large crowds, and simply having fun with my band mates, I really miss it. It sure beats a desk job. So don’t follow in my tracks, or the tracks of all the other failed musicians out there. Stick to your dream, and perhaps you will some day receive a musicians choice award of the highest ranking kind.
