Part 2 – The First Step

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

So I want to ask one of the most important questions of all.

The question that everyone needs to ask before setting out on their journey:-

“What is this dream and why do I want it?”

As an aspiring music producer a number of years ago I read a lot of material on the internet about music production in regards to how to become a music producer, especially in reference to what I should be doing to pursue my ambition, however, never did I find anything that asked me to stop and question why I wanted to become a music producer, (possibly because I wasn’t looking) and I wonder – had I of stumbled across such material, would I of:-
(a) bothered to read it and
(b) understood what it was trying to tell me?

Although I have been using music production as a case for this study, I’m actually talking to anyone with a dream, especially young people with aspirations in the artistic and creative fields. I am very aware from my own experience how easy it is to get swept away by all the rubbish the world sells you and I think to clean up before you begin would be a good way to start.

There is so much gargwash about that when I decided to start a blog, I decided I would try my best to squash the gargwash. Try to be an open channel as best possible and leave the ulterior motives for affliate marketing schemes to someone else.

(- or rather – if I did bring in an affliate marketing scheme I would be honest about how much money it makes and what this would involve timewise).

I like to have money and like to make money and I have plans to make more money – but making money for me involves doing something worth of value for others – a two way ticket where I feel good and the other person feels good.

I know the greatest thing in my life has been uncovering the truth, (although I realise truth is subjective). I haven’t always appreciated the truth but have grown to understand that truth plays a vital role in breaking down false illusions, and in doing so, actually allows a far greater chance of realising our potential.

In my world, the greatest “treat” anyone can give is their “truth”. That’s if you’re truly sincere about giving and want to give something worth of value.

That’s why to break down any false illusions about “the dream” and paradoxically, bring about the realisation of following ones dream – for me is more important and practical than regurgitating the, “always follow your dreams and they will come true” spinner.

Just like setting off for a destination, the better understanding of what’s real and what’s fake will make a huge difference in how and what will get you there.
