Conducting Your Own Masterpiece

Conductors never go into an event unprepared or without rehearsing because they respect their craft and are considered perfectionist as even though they have plenty of instruments to manage, they are still focused on the bigger picture; which is the piece they are preparing for, thus it does not matter how good the violin is over the bass if there is no harmony in the end product.

Think of your mind as an orchestra and every thought you have representing some form of musical instrument, if you do not like a certain instrument that is playing then simply change it and find another instrument that works in your orchestra, be creative about it, give each instrument the respect it deserves and allow all of them to be used to their full potential while conducting a harmonious music piece that you will be proud to release to audiences around the world.

We always get what we put out to the universe and we are largely in charge of how the final product turns out, we are given every possible instrument to produce whatever we want, when we want it and how we want it. Along the way we realise that there are some instruments that work better than others; some just do not fit in with what we are trying to produce at the end of it all and struggle to find the right harmony among various instruments in order for them to collectively become a classic finished product. 

Remember there is no such thing as too much practise and even when you feel you have mastered anything it can still be done better, hence you find that there are different renditions of songs and some people like one over the other. This can be applied to our lives; because just like the conductor chooses which instruments to play, at what rhythm and pace they should play, you have the power to do the same with your life.

Deep down in your mind and heart, you know exactly how you would love your life to turn out, you may not be sure of how you will get there but you have an idea which is a perfect start because all great things you see around you were once just an idea in another human beings mind; so do not despair if it does not come right the first time, all great things take time and practise; so go ahead play around with different ideas that can compliment your big idea until all those little ideas find harmony with your big idea thus creating the perfect masterpiece that you will be proud to have orchestrated.
