Thank you! So many people have deep rooted passions for people and interested, but if that passion can extend to self that would open up so many more doors for a lot of talented individuals.

I agree Lisa. Another way to look at is this: Visualize clearly, precisely, and frequently about your dreams and it will manifest itself into reality.

I hate these lines. They put you even more down and put you more under pressure. There are good reasons why people don’t believe in themselves sometimes. It’s not that easy to overcome past struggles and to move on. Think about that before saying these very cheap and cheesy lines.

It's heartbreaking to me when I see people say things like: "I always wanted to be a singer since I was young... and my parents laughed at that dream... so now I work at Wendy's full-time." Even though I'm someone who's speaking out against that... I struggle with it myself. I'm at a fork in the road right now... and I hope to take the right turn. And I really want to see everyone here succeed... I want to hear your beautiful music. Please don't give up.

[@desiree333_]

Luke Chiacco thst happened to me. I told my dad at age 7 that I wanted to sing. I remember like it was yesterday he said” honey that’s too hard” and changed the subject. 33 years later and 5 careers later.. I’m now doing what I was supposed to do. Sing. I’m not letting up. My goal is to have my single finished by the end of Summer. And my ultimate goal is to sing at funerals.

[@ivanvenne]

In that case, I'mma just self promote real quickly. I'm a very obviously small artist and I just released a new song on both my KZbin and Soundcloud (it being on this channel that I'm commenting with). The song is called Forever and I know the song is very simple but it is something I'm extremely proud in so I want the song to be the most viewed (and most liked hopefully) song I've released so far

[@lukekelly2575]

I recently decided as a 27 year old to drop everything and give it my all at music. Here is why. The past few years I have let myself become warped by societal and familial expectations. I put writing and playing shows on the back burner because of this. Denying myself all this time has ultimately come to a head just this year. I finished my prerequisites and nearly applied to nursing school finally but didn’t, I realized I needed to leave my marriage and got divorced, and I packed up and moved back to my hometown. I’ve spent the past 5 months trying SO hard to find a new path, all the while neglecting music, the one thing I love. I imagined being 65 and what I would have wanted in my memory. And all I could think about is singing my songs to people who want to hear them. I have NOTHING to lose by choosing music and I would rather fail super hard than never try super hard. Nursing school can wait. Your video has bolstered my resolve man.

I just started making music a couple months ago and I don’t have any songs out nor have I ever performed but I’ve been offered multiple gigs just because I know some people who make music and I didn’t even know I did. When I first started I had no clue where to start so I asked everyone on my Snapchat story “I’m trying to get into music. Do any of you produce?” And this one guy that I met while visiting my friend’s school back in like 5th grade (I’m 21 now) hit me up and from knowing just him I’ve found so many opportunities.

I cannot wait for a sign. If I won't push myself, I won't get pushed 3) My self-believing should come from myself. And I shouldn't be sad because someone said some shit about me. I cannot be afraid to start. If I'll be like "oh they said I'm bad so I should quit" I'll Never achieve my dream of being known for my singing-songwriting. I can't be afraid to start. I can't be afraid of what people say. 4) I don't ask the world for their opinion. I come and do what I love and that's it. None of my favorite artists is asking what I think of their stuff 5) I don't ask for any opinion / permission. I do what I do because I know I'm capable of and I want to show it. 6) I have to love myself as much as I love my favorite artists. Because if I don't love myself. How am I expecting for people to love me?

I am a 16 year old girl who has always dreamed of becoming a singer one day. I had performances at schools but nothing more happened than people telling me I have a good voice. But even singing in front of a few people made me feel like I can conquer the world. I've also been told that I'm a really good writer and considering I've even written a novel, I do believe it. I have like 30 songs in my notes that I'd also like to call hidden gems cause I wrote them back in the time I used to deal with bullying and self-confidence. And I know there are a lot of people like me that just want to SHARE. Share through music. Music has been there for me when no one were, especially with those late nights when I had doubts that I might not make it. So one day I told myself to wait for a sign. I really wanted 2020 to be my year. And I think this sign came yesterday, I got an idea in the middle of the night and I don't know if it's right but I'm watching THIS VIDEO right now, aren't I?

since i was younger, i knew i was meant to do something awesome with my life. i've always been a creative person but i never wanted to chase fame. i always would sing and people would tell me that im not good enough, but it never silenced me. I knew that i would need practice to challenge my vocal abilities and i always taught myself how to grow vocally. its gotten to the point now that i can hit amazing highs and amazing lows without even thinking twice about it. I always wanted to do music, im an artist (visual arts) and have always done it my whole life as well, but i never find it as enjoyable as expressing myself vocally. One day, recently, my boyfriend and i were singing and playing around and he had me practice a song "sandcastles" by beyonce (one of my favorite songs ever) and as i was singing the song it slipped out and he called me a natural. that was the first time in my whole life - im 27 this month - that i have ever felt confident in my singing abilities, to the point that i want to possibly make a career out of it. I am currently learning how to make music and create compositions that are unique to my message. mark this day as the beginning of me finally living out my dreams. it's the beginning of a new age for L!

[@iva6219]

Hi! I want to thank you for this video, for being so honest. I have a passion about music, but I've also had a lot of insecurities and excuses. I have a dream and that dream is to learn how to make my own music and make great music, even if no one cared about it. I don't know why but the other arts like painting, drawing, writing, dancing have always seemed more available and easy to start with, to me at least. With music it's very complicated already at the start, with theory and the correct techniques to play an instrument or how to sing right, it's really a steep hill. There seems to be a lot of judgement and musicians seem to group in their own tight circles, allowing no one in. At least with classical music it's like this. If you haven't been to a music school, then it can be really discouraging. It's truly a lonely journey and you're confused all the time. You need to invest a lot of money and time. I'm still young and now seems to be the time to decide what I want to make with my passion. I want to do something about what my heart's been telling me for all those years, before the time runs out... If there's anyone out there reading this and knows what I'm talking about, then don't feel lonely - we're really in the same boat. Don't listen to the voice in your head that tells you that you can't do it. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other, start small but don't stop. That's all that matters.

I felt this 100%. I’ve wanted to be a singer since I was a kid. I’m in my early 20’s jumping from one major to the next, one job to the next and now I’m in financing of all things. I’m good at so many things, but none of them make me feel how I do when I sing. At first it was “I’ll make money and chase my dream on the side...soon.” Now I fear “soon” will never come. It’s really discouraging when you only ever had the dream and years of self-taught practice but no real progress. I wasn’t in the choir, i wasn’t a band geek, and I’ve never performed at a talent show. I’ve only sung at a small biker bar and they said I was great. Lol But that’s it. And the older I get the more I feel like I don’t deserve my dream, and it’s just a delusion. Yet singing and songwriting are the only thing I’ve ever done that I actually know with certainty I’m meant to be doing. They are my entire identity. I just have no idea where to start.

[@naoremmusic3680]

Not that I know better than anyone else, but in my opinion the solution to this problem and to just pick the interest you think is your favorite and master and dedicate yourself to it and follow the principles in this video. You have your whole life to master all of the things you want but you have to master one at a time so start with your favorite! You can always do things as hobbies, and focus on mastering one thing at a time! - Be well :)

I have never believed in myself more after last night having a conversation about art with my #1 idol and favorite artist of all time. The whole time he was talking about his struggles and success, I can literally see myself in him. We’re almost exactly the same person. The humbleness this man had, despite essentially taking over the scene in very few years really showed how passionate he is about his craft. It wasn’t until recently that believe in myself more than ever before. I will make it one day. If not I’m better off dead.

It's important to remember what Elliott Smith said, something like, it helps to relax and not worry about what you think other people want to hear.

That idea, paired with what you're saying, can instill all the confidence someone could need.

[@MaJ3sTic69Inv]

I know that the universe sent this video to me. I’m literally in this energy as I speak. I have no support and no lie it’s extremely hard when u have such a big vision with so little means to be able to do it. I’ve learned not to care what people think about my sound but at the same time I’ve been such a hermit. That made it tough to show my work. So I tend to loose self confidence. And when u don’t have friends or family, in most cases I’m the only motivation I have. When it’s time to perform I get shy, unless I’m under a lot of pressure or pissed off. I almost gave up today!! But I didn’t!! And when I finally went to sit at KZbin to see how I can find as much self help as possible this was the first video that showed up. I appreciate the passion and anger that u showed because most try to take that irritation out but it is well needed. It’s the same irritation that I was and still kind of feeling. It’s nice to be able to relate on that level. That’s when the drive kicked back in. Even though you don’t have a clue who I am. Thank u so much for the motivation that I took personal from ur words on this video. There is no telling what blessing I would of missed if I had given completely up. It’s getting harder because I’m in the rabbit hole I guess. No turning back. Thanks again
