      Mastery makes you see that if you don't feel like you fit in (in the way society expects people to be), it doesn't mean you're on the wrong path,but can rather be on your own unique path of shining.

    I'm 38 and living this. I've denied myself the privilege of composing music and the extent of self sabotage was horrible. I pulled away from an amazing business I built from nothing and couldn't understand why, until a very enlightened and intelligent man showed me how to follow my heart and let go of the perceptions and judgments of others, which is exactly what I feel you are saying. Now, I use everything I've learnt from my experiences to create brilliant music that is well received. This is a purpose that my heart is connected to and I will make the most of it, well, as much as an Indian man in South Africa can. Let's face facts, the music industry is predominantly black and white, there is little hope for me but I shall soldier on!

      Do you think when a person listens to music they love there thinking about what colour the person is who made it?

      Music is a feeling man. If you play the right notes, the notes that they consciously, or unconsciously, want to hear, people will resonate with it. Make the music that you truly want to do and be the best at it

      @@altermachina thank you for that very encouraging comment. I am happy to say that since I have posted that comment, I have completed my first instrumental track and sent it to a distribution company. It had been accepted across all music streaming platforms and social platforms and will be available on the 23 June 2023.
      I have obviously healed a lot of myself to be able to do this and I'm working on a Christmas album.
      I hope that my music will be well received and it's people like you who help me to keep my chin up and do the very best I can with what I have instead of making excuses... I have found solutions. Thank you again 🙏

    I didn’t find my life’s purpose until my 30s, and then its been fire, a strong desire, to create, a focused study on languages and real estate. My 20s i flowed and drifted, i let myself be fooled, so as to undo my own foolishness, made 1000 mistakes, I tried for peace, i fought the law, i railed and wailed, i learned a trade, and got a grade 10 diploma from the school of hard knocks, the intentions were always good though, I have to believe, and 1 was saved by the martial arts. All the while I’ve been making visual art, a lot of sculptures, etc, … i do stone masonry now full time, so the money is consistent and i can relax like i did back then, beginners mind is always essential, on top of a developed mastery and a mature appreciation, momento mori and a killer resolve, stoically realizing that life is fucking amazing! It’s back to drawing, the pleasure of moving the pen to make form again, to change the first view, from 2 dimensions to 2 plus 2, 3 or 4 or maybe more …

    Wow no one has ever put this concept in better words, simplicity is what makes it sophisticated. Sometimes we beat ourselves up (I know I do) for not having found our path yet because we feel we are not living up to our full potential and forget to be patient and enjoy the journey. I tend to compare myself with the geniuses who are gifted and having success in what they love very early in life but everybody’s journey is different and comparison is one of the greatest form of self disrespect ❤

    Thanks for making your youtube channel Robert it's come to be very helpful! since I had been researching about emotional intelligence I got your Human Nature audiobook. Your work ties into me trying to improve my emotional intelligence. my awareness of myself and others is something that is important like it is to everybody, but circumstances of mental illness and such... well it made me stop caring about others. and shy away from people because of past trauma. And it's something you have to keep trying to be good at. If you stop you will regress.

    While I can agree with all that you've said, the issue lies in its simplicity. Talent wise, I've won awards for art. However, while it comes naturally, it does not come passionately. Passionately, I'm inclined towards music, which does not come naturally. But this is all just commonality. Most people live and die following the common path of simplicity or passion; personally speaking, thats just not enough for me. Purpose is one hell of a concept. To place purpose in the respect of emotionality, is withholding any other valuable attributes one might have to take a more challenging path. In example; the idea of Einstein pursuing music because he felt emotionally inclined to it. As we all do, which is why music is a common path, and that's my point. The possibilities that exist within us and the power that we all have to change the world, is in the detriment of emotional pursuit. As most married couples would commonly share about the dreams they gave up after pursuing one another. The world will never reach any maximum potential with humans being predisposed to current common pursuits or emotional direction. There's a pattern to our behavior. Which is why we have similar inclinations to things like music, love, or attention, to name a few. But the brain is capable of so much more. The human brain has progressed society so far because of challenges. Emotional pursuit is not a challenge, it's humanistic design. I believe there's better advice to cogitate to direct someone's consideration to their own purpose. Everyone should know the world is at their fingertips and what they have to offer in their brief lifespan, exceeds any of humanities preceding repeated vocational or emotional inclinations of current existence.

    Many things make me passionate, for example philosophy, journalism or architecture. Trouble is, unless you have exceptional skills, in those fields, there's no real future in them, if like most of us you have to earn a living.

    • @hahahahaha7824
      @hahahahaha7824 Год назад +1

      Robert is right in saying that you gotta hone your skills overtime. but at the same time, the reality is the supply and demand. So you are also right. Greene merely helps you see the direction. Warren Buffet said the same thing. what would you do if you didn't need money? it helps but it does not solve how the economy runs. So I think it's best to do a mix of both and more importantly find what makes you GREAT as opposed to what you simply love. Becoming a singer is a terrible idea for most. But you could always work on something that has elements of music in it that makes you great. In that sense both do help. Just don't expect yourself to become a professional singer. That's how I would see it. Because it does come down to supply and demand and we do not need that many singers in this world. That doesn't change and we do not need to fight the world for it.

    • @cthoadmin7458
      @cthoadmin7458 Год назад

      @@hahahahaha7824 It's not really supply and demand. If you're exceptionally good at something you can make your own demand. If you're a singer song writer like Elton John, you don't have to worry about demand, they'll find you. The trouble is, by definition, most of us aren't exceptional, which is a problem if what makes you passionate is something that requires extraordinary ability to make a decent living. That's not to say you can't still enjoy things you aren't exceptional at: many people enjoy playing musical instruments as a hobby.
      I read philosophy in my spare time and enjoy it, but it's unlikely to make me a decent living. My career is something that I'm not passionate about, but it earns a decent enough living to pay the bills.

Started back at school at 25, graduated with 4 year degree at 28, joined the military as a reservist at 29, got a career with the military at 32, and now I make $90k per year, I've established career capital, and am in the middle of a huge promotion by basically creating a new position for myself at work. I'm 35, I have a wife and a son, I have money saved for or a home, and I'm getting my graduate degree to earn even more money at work. Im just now beginning to discover my life's task through skills I've picked up over the years from just being curious and finding things I like to do.I'm not from the third world, but I came from having very little and no ambitions to do anything meaningful with my life and in 10 years I completely turned everything around.

What would I care about learning how to be an apprentice when I don't even know what I want to apprentice for? I still don't, but at least I'm actively trying to find out now.

      This is exactly the problem with this thinking. I think what Greene could have helped was maybe for younger students or people in early twenties who could maybe go into jobs like teaching that can combine music with a job. The economy does not need singers or professional musicians. It has wayyy more supply than it needs. So I think these kinds of advice help out younger adults more who could easily go back to school for a career change. It also helps older crowds in maybe finding a side job that pays. I always tell my students not to become attached to jobs that will most likely never pay. However, I do teach them to find something that is a mix of both worlds that works. Supply and demand is very very important. However, we do have the option of finding side jobs. I still don't think you should continue making music. However, your love for music can be utilized for something that generates extra income. That way you may develop a business opportunity while you do something that's related to music. Chasing dreams is cool and all but on average, people are happier with jobs that pay. That's the ugly truth. In that sense, I think doing what makes you great is better than finding the job you like. So then the conclusion is that you should try to balance it out but if you can't it's better to do what you are better at. (again if it's music, then no.) lol.
