Be FEARLESS and get started...again

I have always loved playing music and have done so for most of my life since I was 14 years old. So why did I stop playing live for almost 15 years? It's a great question I needed to ask myself. I have entered a prolonged musical hibernation. Life took me on a meandering journey, and I was just going through the motion’s day after day. I was alive and breathing, but I was not living. So, what changed?

I asked myself some quality questions like "what do I want more out of life?" and "what is getting in my way from having that?" For me the answers were simple but powerful. I wanted more joy, passion and excitement and the only thing getting in my way were excuses. If I want to get really accountable the only thing preventing me from living the life I wanted was me. So, I discovered that I needed to be fearless in my approach to committing to myself to do whatever it takes. But it was not easy in the beginning.

I had always believed that I was fearless when it came to facing challenges in my life be it stepping up or challenging myself whenever I felt the walls of my comfort zone closing in. What I learned was that this was only a part of the full equation. The part I was missing was the dripline and consistency of being fully committed. I had to learn what it meant to be fully committed. To have a dream and the commitment to see it through. Dreams are so important to me and a part of the inner child that I cherish deeply. My inner child believes in me, and I am guided by my intuition.

So here I am again living my dream of writing and performing original music. I love that I am starting over and can do so in the way I want and with the help of some of my amazing friends. The first song I am currently recording is called "Fearless" and I thought this would be the best way to start my blog and track where I am so I can chart where I am going. Thank you to my amazing friends Curtis, Peter, Rory, and Sean for having my back and supporting me as I get started on this fearless journey.

I hope to have my first new song Fearless released in the spring of 2024.

Cheers,

Austin-Live
