Where we are now almost forces us to find a new way or a better way to do things.
And wherever we find ourselves, I am hoping that we can see and take advantage of
the opportunity to grow. To pivot. Merriam Webster Dictionary gives one definition of
pivot as: stepping with one foot while keeping the other foot at its point of contact with
the floor. This particular definition relates to basketball, but I think it’s a great metaphor
for what we need to do. Because like the players, we need to keep one foot grounded
and the other shifting in the new direction-- the direction of growth. And what do we find
in growth? Learning and wisdom.
The first thing is to have the mindset that you are a music ambassador. And that
through your music you bring joy and even healing. You must not only stay current with
the latest drops but are current in the ways in which you can grow your audience. In
those ways, you can bring more joy and healing.
