Ben Zander says in the Art of Possibility “…performance is not about getting your act together, but about opening up to the energy of the audience and of the music, and letting it sing in your unique voice.”
So what if this is true in life? How can we be open to the energy of our audience and let it sing in our unique voice?
If that were possible, what would that mean in your life?

What is the power of music? Does it change your mood or frame of reference when you listen to an upbeat song or a old favorite?
What if song is not only external but also internal? How might our thoughts be like lyrics in a song with a specific refrain?
How might you choose to express your voice in ways that better serve you?
Choice = Power

“Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice: It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.” Williams Jennings Bryan
CHOICE = POWER
“We have thoughts, feeling and emotions, but we are not our thoughts, feelings, or emotions.” Frances Vaughn
Just because we have a thought doesn’t mean we have to keep it, and just because it may be our first thought, it certainly doesn’t make it right. By choosing, in the moment, to control our thoughts, we empower ourselves to control our destiny.
So, when you notice draining thoughts, what would you like to choose to believe?
For example, I might have a limiting belief that I have to be nice to everyone and this might drain my energy because I feel like I have to say yes to everything or it makes me feel guilty to tell someone I don’t want to do something.
What I can choose to believe is my first step to really being nice is being nice to myself and saying yes to everything isn’t actually nice to myself since I get overwhelmed and stretched too thin, so setting boundaries will keep me calm, peaceful, and successful.
What might you say to reset the lyrics in your head?
