>>>> Interesting times we live in!<<
>>
>> The more we move towards a cooperative paradigm and away from a
>> competition,
>> the more successful we will be in whatever our endeavors are.   
>> There seems
>> to be a great societal hoax perpetuated that our material supply is
>> limited
>> and that we must fight over the scraps. It just isn't so. We live  
>> in a
>> creative and abundant universe.
>>
>> There is enough for all - there is room for all.  I got a little  
>> freaked
>> out
>> when I saw how much music is flooding the marketplace because of our
>> technological advances.  What is positive and beautiful is that no  
>> two of
>> us
>> are trying to do exactly the same thing.  Our paths are unique. Our  
>> music
>> is
>> unique. Our methods are unique. Therefore, our place in the music  
>> industry
>> is unique.
>>
>> Our job is to be as authentically ourselves as possible. Then it all
>> works.
>> To truly know what aspects of the business give us the most joy and  
>> move
>> in
>> that direction. When we align ourselves with our joy and passion,  
>> then
>> focus
>> on what we want in a positive and joyful and grateful way,  we come  
>> into
>> alignment with the creative force.  Things start happening for us.  
>> Ideas
>> start flowing in ways we never thought possible.  People come to  
>> our aid
>> in
>> serendipitous ways.
>>
>> Just as everyone can now be a composer/songwriter etc., there are  
>> far more
>> filmmakers now thanks to software like Final Cut Pro and consumer
>> camcorders
>> with "film-look" settings. When Cold Mountain was edited in Romania  
>> on
>> four
>> Mac G-4s it changed the industry's perception of editing  
>> possibilities.
>> Filmmaking is enormously accessible. This gives us more  
>> opportunities to
>> marry our music with film.
>>
>> There are ways to make money with our music that we have yet to  
>> conceive.
>> If
>> it is money that you want - you can have it. When we are at peace  
>> and in a
>> positive frame of mind - brilliant inspired ideas will come to us in
>> unexpected ways at unexpected times. The trick is to stay positive  
>> and
>> focus
>> on what we want to bring into our lives - not on what we don't want.
>>
>> I worked as an environmental activist for many years. Over time I  
>> learned
>> that we are much stronger when working FOR something than working  
>> against
>> something.  When we work against something with an attitude of fear  
>> we
>> feed
>> and empower the very beast we are trying to destroy.
>>
>> The energy of a positive person is absolutely magnetic and  
>> powerful. It
>> opens doors.  Creates opportunity and wealth.  Keeps us healthy.
>>
>> There is plenty for all.
