Have you ever been asked: What is your music?
Recently, I watched the movie “August Rush” again. I liked it the first time I watched it, but this time I was impressed with just how powerful a movie it really was.
Now, I would like to say I am a musician. But I can’t…really. Mom made me take piano lessons when I was young, bless her heart, and then I loved band through the middle school years playing drums. There wasn’t a chance for me to play when I moved to Rapid City in 1990, but you’ll usually find me banging away on something or other. (I try to keep the air drums away while clients are in the car…)
I love music and the emotions it can evoke and the power behind it.
But what really caught my attention this last time from the movie was: Listen to the music in you.
Good advice. Music was the passion of the characters in the show. It drove them to believe in the impossible, go for the improbable, hope for that which everyone else laughed at.
So the question for us : What is your passion? What is the music in you?
Sorry – but for me, “real estate” isn’t good enough in my opinion. What about real estate? Driving around cool cars? Having an excuse to buy cool tech toys? Staging? Making money? Forming relationships?
I hope it’s the last. For me, it’s about helping people. Yes, that sounds trite. But it’s true. I wish I could be a hero and change the world. Probably not going to happen on a global scale. But I’ve been a hero on a small scale to a bunch of families. Found them the perfect house. Sold the home in record number of days so the brand new dream home could be built.
There was the scream of the wife in the background as I told the husband, “Yep. We got it.” The “I almost started crying in class” text when I pronounced their home under contract.
That is my music. That is my passion.
What’s yours?
