I was so stressed in college about being a music major. The path for a music major wasn’t clear. I spoke of my doubts and fears to my teacher and his advice stuck with me all these years. “Linda – let music lead the way.”
It’s still very hard for me to let go of control. Control is really just my defense against fear. Over planning is my mind afraid it won’t be provided for unless it makes its own provisions. But my creativity teaches me something different. It tells me to let go! It teaches me that “my” creativity really isn’t mine at all. It comes from outside of me from a different source. It begs me to TRUST. I will be provided for. I will be taken on a greater adventure than I could ever plan myself. These are lessons I’m still struggling to learn and often times I’m on a roller coaster. But for the most part I follow the advice of my college professor and let creativity lead the way.
My creativity has lead me on a journey through songwriting, to writing a One Woman Show and now to being a Solo Show Musical Coach. I wonder where it will lead me next?
Where does your creativity lead you?
