Steve don't you find people go through stages
in life when they find something they want,
and pay the price? I find people, prices and
wants change.

thanks for mentioning this steve because I've
found for some people it's motivating to
read horation alger stories and for others it's
motivating to have a mentor to guide them along
and show them the ropes.

It really doesn't matter what others think...I'm
finding there is always two sides to every story,
and "none" of us know what happens behind closed
doors, so who am I to judge..

It's worked for me several times...once I
sprained an ankle...it was the beginning of
walking more....when I found out I had a brain
tumor it was the beginning of taking better
care of my health. Often people need something
to get them going...and that's ok..but we have
to be honest with ourselves...Sometimes we say
we don't know what to do when that is not the
issue at all...

The excuses start...the issue wasn't really
being a singer but something deeper

Or what is the "real problem"?
sometimes people have difficulties returning

Thanks steve for this train of thought because
it gave me some more things to think about...
And it touched on something. I've been thinking
I don't know what I want to do when first I
need to be real honest with myself as to the'
things "i want" which might not be as tangible
as things...
sometimes we think things and money are the
things which will bring us happiness when actually
we might want something intangible such as
respect, freedom, independence etc...

One of the things which attracted me to this
forum is an opportunity to find out what intangibles really motivate people and to watch
people grow as they explore doing things they
love...
