Finding Yourself

I read this blog post this morning and it reminded me of some things I'd been processing through as of late.

I wrote this down in a journal that I keep ideas in a few weeks back.

"If it is true that people are attracted to a strong stand i.e. Method, then, what stand am I going to take? What comes out of me naturally that I want to be known for? What is my mission?"

(check out this inspirational video from the Method founder, Eric Ryan)

Here's a few examples of some other artists I found.

"I am a creature of community, inspired to write sing along pop songs." Mat Keraney

In this article, Coldplay's, Chris Martin says, "[Coldplay] is still obsessed with making songs that can be sung to the rafters."

In both cases, each artist's songs are inspired by a singular mission. So, no matter what they write about, there is an inner working of passion that produces the sounds that come out of them.

Regardless of whether you're a musician, painter, accountant, or engineer, I think it's important for us all to know the mark we want to leave on the world. In everything you do, what do you want people to experience? To receive? To believe? To gain?

I have an idea of what that is for me, but I'm not finished with my thoughts on it. I'll let you know when I get it.
