Day 19+: Changing My Mind
I've logged more Karaoke hours than most folks. I say that because my feel it real friend Denise once asked me "what would you pay to do?"
I think the only thing I'd pay to do is sing.
Although the context of that conversation was 'what could we do for a living that wouldn't feel like work,' I think there are valuable take-aways from the answer, even though I don't actually want to sing for my living.
For one thing, as I've continually returned to this program to help me feel like a millionaire, I keep realizing that to feel wealthy, sometimes I just have to find a way to feel better.
And if there's one thing guaranteed to make me feel better any time, anywhere, it's to sing. As the phenomenal Bohème, formerly Cassidy of Antigone Rising puts it, sing 'til I feel better.
Now, I'm a decent singer. Depending on which friend you ask, you might even hear "good," or the occasional "great" (thanks, Leah).
But here's the cool thing. No matter how old you are, or how long you've been singing, you can still get better.
I'm approaching 50 and have been singing since I could speak, and last night I just learned one small, new thing that really improved the power of my tone.
A music teacher from my kids' former school, from whom I won a couple of singing lessons at the school auction, was a fantastic singer, and yet she was still taking lessons.
As the Abraham-Hicks saying goes, you never get it "right." And you never get it done.
My goal in undertaking the vibrational millionaire program was to feel like a millionaire, so that it wouldn't be too much of a shock to my system to be one.
It took some time and practice to ignore the clowns who came into my life over the years to reflect my lack of confidence in myself as a singer and a musician.
Similarly, I expect it'll take a while to stop hearing or heeding any messages about being an imposter of a millionaire.
But I already know I'll get there. You can change your mind. I can sing 'til I feel better.
