Do You Have Musical Dreams?
If you have musical dreams and you are caught up in the fear of failure, read on.
The fear of failure is often an obstacle that we face with our creative pursuits and dreams. Fear shows up when we are uncertain of the outcome as well as being in a new and often unknown territory.
The fact is even the greatest and most successful musicians have all had to deal with their share of rejection, setbacks and moments of self-doubt. Those who are successful are the ones that were willing to confront any and all challenges head-on.
When you change your perspective on the fear of failure, success will be yours. Rather than saying “this is the end of the road” change your view and say “this is a necessary part of my journey.”
I had my share of setbacks. Whether I made errors, lost bandmates or faced rejection, all were experiences to learn and grow, They were my stepping stones toward my ultimate goal. You need to embrace setbacks in order to learn from them and allow them to fuel your fire toward your progress.
The most challenging aspect of pursuing your musical dreams is taking that first step. Once that step is taken you continue to put one foot in front of the other (yes, I’m singing that in ny head at the moment) and keep moving forward.
Look at your musical dreams and be sure to set a realistic goal. Once you have that goal, break it down and categorize it into smaller and more achievable goals. This will allow your end goal to be much more manageable,
Make time to practice regularly and be persistent. With consistency and practice, you will not only boost your self-confidence but you will increase your skill and perfect your craft day-by-day.
Always have people around you for support, encouragement and guidance. When you feel like giving up, they will allow you to see that giving up is not an option.

Always remember your passion for music. Allow your passion to be the driving force that pushes you down the road towards your goal even when you experience a setback,

In the end, they will all be part of your individual story and will make your achievement that much more meaningful.
Never allow fear to hold you back from your musical dream. Allow fear to be your driving force that moves you forward.
