Maybe it&#8217;s kind of like the &#8220;break&#8221; on a pool table. You don&#8217;t have to be an expert for balls to fall in the pocket.

		<description><![CDATA[All our career paths in music are unique, which is why advice is so easy to get and hard to follow.  This is also why the advice we do get can be misleading or even hurtful.  Other careers may have, at least in the past, offered stability and dutiful profits and financial security.  We didn't choose that, did we?  I'm still learning.  I hope you will too.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The role of the music educator is being transformed.  Transitioning a student from academia to a global market economy, however, presents new and specific challenges for which we teachers and instructors are seldom able to wholly grasp.  Now students must share their experience with their professors, and if rebutted, make new relationships which will foster the kind of professional growth needed to survive an increasingly complex music production technology and shifting marketplace.]]></description>

It's just part of life, which can be mindfully provisioned for and successfully survived. We just have to realize that these circumstances are a certainty and give immunity to no one. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In creating your lesson plan for life, remember that Retail Therapy is not for everyone. It should only be administered when in the company of someone who knows your credit limit and is bigger than you are.  Under certain circumstances, Retail Therapy might actually be more detrimental to your self-worth than supporting it. Use great discretion when undergoing Retail Therapy and remember to never shop alone.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This post is about claiming our own authority and building alliances.  Although this may feel like a paradigm shift, it is in the DNA of the American spirit.  It's why so many people, under the motivation of their own individual authority, want to come here.  This is the same mindset which built this country, and when awakened in us, removes obstacles in finding ourselves and our destiny.    ]]></description>
