Do What You Love

Tonight, while you were at Rock School, I sat in the lobby and read. But, since it’s a music school, I get the chance to watch kids come and go with their violins, drumsticks and guitars.

I love it.

I grew up playing music and listening to music.

As and adult, I worked in the music business.

And as a mom, I get to watch you sing, dance and learn to play instruments.

But tonight, it wasn’t the students that inspired me. It was a teacher. Specifically, the drum teacher.

I watched a high school girl step into the tiny lesson room where she was taking drum lessons. From where I was sitting, I couldn’t see the student, only the teacher. And he was BEAMING.

I couldn’t stop looking at how much fun he was having. His jeans were faded, his hair was long and his eyes were shining.

This is a guy who LOVES what he’s doing. He is teaching kids to love what he loves.

And that’s what I wish for you.

I hope that as you go through life, you do things that bring you joy.

They may make you money. They may not.

Do them anyway.

You were born with a unique mixture of gifts and talents that can only be found in you. Discover them. Journal about them. Practice them. Grow them. Share them. Change your world with them.

Find your spark. Give some room to breathe. And watch it turn it into a wildfire.
