Part 3: Music and LIfe’s rhythm

I have had the privilege of doing what most have called crazy and bold, and that is travel alone and even travelled locally alone. Yup, hit the road and travel to a different country, nothing like a road trip with good sing along songs. Being a stranger in a foreign land alone can be challenging, however it is equally amazing, nah, actually the experience is quite awesome. From landing at the airport or bus station, the atmosphere is totally different from what you are accustomed to. First things first, you are trying to find your way to your hotel and once you have settled, you look for a restaurant that has good food and good music. Something about music that even when you do not understand the language in the song, part of you does somehow relate.

I do not know about you, but I find it relaxing listening to my favourite music when I have had a long trip. I love live performances, more especially when I know the songs beings sang or if there’s a DJ and he plays good sing along music. Music has a way of liberating one’s mind, music lets you wonder into spaces that you have never been before (yup, the power of the mind). We all have our own way of interpreting music and our own way of relating to music. It is quite interesting how each of us can listen to the same song and relate to it differently, and that is because our belief systems are different, and it is because our thinking processes are wired differently and thus makes us different people.

Have you ever bothered to ask yourself wat goes into getting a song shelf-ready? How long it takes for DJs to prepare for their set? However long it takes to get a song or a set ready, preparation is pivotal in getting a song or a set ready. You can almost tell when a DJ is not well prepared for their set and their ability to adjust and improvise should there be a glitch with their prior prepared set and thus this proves that preparation is more than just having set songs but being able to be creative and improvise should things not go your way.

This also speaks to our lives and how preparation can set us up and give us a competitive advantage over everyone else. If we consider all the aspects of our lives, how each part of our lives adds to the total sum of our rhythm to which we dance to. To have personal rhythm and melody that your life will be able to dance to, you need to be willing to prepare your mind and other aspects of your life in order to be best prepared for your life dance.

How is your life’s rhythm and melody currently? Is this how you want to dance for the rest of your life? How would you rather have your life’s dance be? At any time of our lives we can change the rhythm and melody that we are dancing to and create new music that will set us up to best achieve the things we want to achieve.

Think of the dance that you currently accustomed to and ask yourself if this is how you want to dance for the rest of your life.

Life is music and our lives live according to the rhythm which we create.
