To do what you love.
Yesterday I played a gig (watch the last two songs here). It was outdoors, physically distanced, yet socially together. Was it fun? Absolutely! I was privileged to have this experience and share it with others.
I consider myself privileged because I do not have the right to play music and get paid for it - especially with many venues closing their doors.
To do what you love, and get paid to do it, is indeed a privilege. I do not feel shame for this privilege. Instead, I use it to give others something they came to experience, my soul.
The performance of music is many things for many people. For me, it's about the soul. It's about communicating what's in my heart to people that care to listen. This passion fuels this blog, my work as a recruiter, and all aspects of my life. The ability to communicate and for others to enroll in your message and listen is "privilege."
The question is, what will you do with it now that you have it?
