Renaissance Men and Women

Had a really good guest lecturer in my songwriting class today. He talked about some recent successes he had in pursuing some songwriting projects that he has been working on for years. This lecture was very inspiring for me because he was a guy who worked a 9-5 job and pursued his passion after work. I have often thought about being that kind of guy in perhaps the next 5-10 years.

I have determined that I may not have a life in music, but I will definitely have music in my life. I am grateful for the people I have worked with and met who are dedicated spouses/parents and/or outstanding full-time workers, and yet are excellent in their other pursuits. It may be in music or in writing or in any number of artistic pursuits. I am grateful for them, because I hope to grow up to be that way as well. I hope to be someone who focuses their life on the most important things, and also creates great contributions to serve and inspire others. You might call such people Renaissance men and women.
