Finding Your Passion

I wake up in the morning and sometimes I dread going to work. But then I find my way back to it. I love the interaction between people (good/bad). I figured out I was a people person. Sometimes I am not passionate about my current job. I feel bad about it, but then I realize that I am a working perfection. Since going to a new job I am steadfast about my decisions. I am being more authoritative. I am in more command. I practicing skills that I need to master to run my own company. This is all a process that will get me to wonderful results.

For years I could not find my passion because I was good at many things. I was good at math. I went to the University of Oklahoma to get an Engineering degree. I love music. I hate hand-to-hand promotions. It seems that's where everyone has to start. STOP! I am making excuses. I have to realize that I have to start somewhere. I love interaction between myself and others. Use this as an attribute in my endeavors. If I want to do event promotions as a full-time job, I have to start with a map. Others have succeeded and failed. I have to ask both to tell their stories. Use the maps to steer me in the right direction.

Did I say that? I love music. I love all kinds of music. I buy music on a weekly basis. I read about the musicians. I learn about their inspirations. That inspires me. My favorite album of all-time is John Coltrane's A Love Supreme. John Coltrane was passionate about his saxophone and to recreate music. There were others before him, but he used his 'special skills' to separate himself from the others. Almost every saxophone since he has graced the earth says that John Coltrane is one of their musical heroes. John Coltrane left his imprint on music. He found his passion.

I am passionate about music. I love jazz. I love soul music. I love hip-hop. I love some rock. I love some alternative. I like some country. I even like some heavy metal. New Orleans is a music city. However, we do not have music business as it should be. My passion is make New Orleans a prominent city for not only music but for music business. Every major concert has to stop here. We should have more music festivals during the summer i.e. Chicago. We should cultivate our music and musicians i.e. Atlanta. We should represent our city harder than anyone i.e. New York. I have work to do, but I've found my passion. When my dream a reality, I just want you to know that I told you so.
