No Such Thing as Failing!

As Oprah says, "Every experience and encounter, positive and negative, has the potential to contribute to your personal development...how there's no such thing as failure- just someone or something pointing you in a new direction."


I had an audition today and came away with more than usual.  I watched these professionally trained singers belt out these incredible songs for the casting director, as I stood there jaw dropped to the ground.  How freakin' unprepared could I be?  I have put myself in so many of these situations and the only thing I can do is laugh.  I learn so much every time and it's time I start listening to what I learn.


This time I learned:


1. These people take voice lessions, (I ad-lib).
2.  They love singing so much that they have learned to read music, ( I pick up tunes by listening, not reading).
3.  They practice the songs they audition with, (I didn't know there were specific songs, I just chose an r n' b and the audition was for cabaret singers)...
4.  The door has been slammed in their face and they are back for more, (Yes!  I have experience in this!)
5.  They believe in themselves, (I'm getting there).


I have conquered #4 and am on a quest to conquer 1, 2, 3, & 5.  There are so many things I want to do and I always feel like I'm running out of time!  That's when I remember to take a deep breath and remind myself that there's always tomorrow...hopefully! :)


Stop daydreaming and start doing!
