It was only six and a half years ago
that I decided I wanted to be a musician,
it was on my bucket list.
I looked around when I turned the age of sixty, six and a half years ago
and said, “what else do I want to do?”
And I thought, well, I always wanted to record music,
but I didn’t sing, I never sang in the shower and never did karaoke
didn’t sing behind the wheel of the car,
I didn’t know how to write songs,
I knew three chords on a guitar
and I knew how to play the harmonica,
I didn’t know how to play the saxophone,
I didn’t have a band, I didn’t know how to go in the recording studio
but I decided and this is the teaching moment here.
I decided I’m going to be a recording musician.
So people sitting at home, the first thing you have to do is decide,
what is it that you would like to do?
“I want to make money from home, I want to learn a language,
I want to play an instrument, I want to learn how to bake cookies”,
I don’t know whatever it is,
but the very first thing is just set an intention like I did to be a musician.
Here’s the next thing that happens that most people don’t acknowledge
and they don’t like,
fear sets in.
And it did for me.
“I’m going to be a musician?”
“I don’t know how to sing, I don’t know how to play the guitar”.
“What if I am the worst in the history of the world?”
“What if I ruined my reputation as an author, self-help, spiritual, whatever?”
“What if people look at me as doing the musician thing as one of those
loser awards that you get on American idol
or whatever that thing was called years ago?”
“And what if I just make a complete fool of myself?”
Every one of those fears.
60 year old man who was in the movie, “The Secret”,
who has written 80 some books,
who was considered a self-help authority,
who knows how to clear blocks is being frozen by fear.
So it’s not unusual
for somebody sitting at home saying to themselves,
“well, I want to do something, but I’m afraid”.
Guess what?
We all get afraid what we want to do something we’ve never done before,
it’s called leaving our comfort zone,
our comfort zone feels comfortable because
we’ve been living in it for quite a while.
I’ve said that if I wanted to climb a mountain
or go across the glacier or something
and I decided that this was going to be my intention
I swear to God I’m going to be scared
because I don’t know how to do it.
So what did I do?
I knew to use some of the clearing techniques that I talk about in the book,
and I’m going to reveal one of them right here,
to explore my own beliefs,
and one of them is just simply questioning the beliefs.
I’ll give you a great story and a great example.
When I wanted to be a musician
and I’m a nervous wreck about it I almost gave it up,
but I thought, “how can I give up my own dream?”
“What kind of a teacher would I be if that got out?”
And so I decided, “no, I’m going to do this
somehow, some way, I have to get past my fears”.
And I took a songwriting workshop
that was a very small, intimate gathering outside of Austin, Texas,
and Ray Wylie Hubbard and Kevin Welch were the two teachers.
And I remember Ray Wylie Hubbard saying,
“he’s still got nervous whenever he tried to write a new song,
whenever he was going to perform,
he’s been on Letterman when it was around and a few other things”.
He said, “but he learned to ask himself a question”.
And this is the question I want to give everybody that’s sitting at home,
it’s the question I also gave myself.
The question was from Ray Wylie Hubbard, when he said,
“you ask yourself, where is the proof that you can’t do this?”
Where is the proof that you can’t do this?
In my case, where was the proof that I couldn’t learn how to sing?
Where was the proof that I couldn’t learn how to write a song?
Where was the proof that I couldn’t learn how to gather a band together?
Where was the proof that I couldn’t go into a recording studio and
actually record my own music with me as the lead singer,
lead guitar player and a band supporting me, where was the proof?
There was none.
And when I realized there was none,
a lot of the fear, a lot of the limiting beliefs of negativity collapsed
because I took its foundation away.
It’s that unknown,
and people sitting at home and they’re thinking,
“well, I’m going to make money at home or
I’m going to develop a product or service”,
