3 Tips to Rock Your Life.
Growing up in a music store I was serenaded by hundreds of rock stars, country crooners, jazz jewels and pop sensations. Sure none of them were truly “famous” but every single one of those passionate performers believed in their talent. I remember being in awe of their ability to grab a guitar (usually one of our most expensive models) and start singing full out in the middle of our busy store. Their displays of talent so full of bravado and energy. And even when they were, of course this is …well… sort of… subjective, not that great, they still generously gifted their PASSION with anyone who would listen.
And I listened.
What I heard, and absorbed, was powerful wisdom from expressive souls actively sharing their passions and purpose to create their dreams and goals. The life lessons I learned from my rock star friends still influences my work as a Passion Igniter. Really, their wisdom, persistence and courage, continually inspires my ROCK YOUR LIFE Teachings and Programs. So kudos and THANK YOU to my long-haired-guitar–thrashing-up-no-earlier-than-noon buddies.
In honour of THEIR awesomeness here are 3 tips for YOU to ROCK YOUR LIFE.
1. Own Your Greatness.
Yes. There was a whole lot of “owning greatness” going on in our music store. And it was inspiring. Sometimes we stop short of fully expressing who we are and what we are capable of because of the deep belief that who we are and what we are capable of is not unique enough. That someone else is already doing it. Better. Braver. Bolder. The real deal? No one has your talents, energy, experiences or perspective. So what you have to offer the world needs. Trust me.

2. Expect Respect.
Throughout your ROCK YOUR LIFE journey people are going to say, or imply, that you can not do it. That you are not talented enough, special enough or deserving. People may treat you poorly, screw you over and/or challenge your sense of worth. This happens to everyone. And from what I learned…this happens a lot to rock stars. But these crazy proud spirits just moved forward anyway. I began to notice that while many of these musicians were managing their own doubts they also absolutely expected respect from others. Do you expect respect from your family members, partner, clients, colleagues and friends? In what ways are you possible teaching others to treat you poorly?

3. Less Drama. Play More.
Maybe it was their overall relaxed approach to life that makes me think my rock star friends were less involved with the complicated drama’s so many of us experience in today’s culture of busy and unconnected relationships. Or maybe it was their intense focus on their goals and their passion for playing music that kept them out of the drama game. I do know that DRAMA DIGGING tends to be a pastime for many of us (and it does nothing but repel fun and joy from our lives). How do you invite drama into your life? How is this drama taking energy away from you expressing your passions and fulfilling your greatest purpose?
