Is your heart in it?

I am convinced that you need to have your heart in it to be really successful. In this time and age (and probably all other times as well..) success equals money and fame. But In my mind that is not true. If you think about many of those we hold for celebrities from yesteryears, is it those who were the most rich or the most popular? In some cases, yes but I think in most cases, no.

The only way to feel good about what you do, if you are a musician or not, is to have your heart in it. It does not guarantee that everyone thinks your great but it produces a satisfaction greater than life. And the result may linger on.
