We are at the beginning of 2017. A brand new year to get it right! Whatever that means. We lost a TON of people in 2016. All that loss truly devastated those age 30-45. Why? Because we grew up in a special moment in time. The 80’s, all this AMAZING Music and using the NEW technology of videos. See in 1981 a channel called MTV was created. Back then, it really was “Music Television”, music all day long! It gave us “new life”. Gave us new “images” to look at, to emulate. Because that’s what people do. They emulate what they see. There were ALL these new amazing artist! George Michael, Cindi Lauper, Blondie, Prince, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson. But, Michael Jackson is on an entire different level from ANY ARTIST ever created in Modern History. This cat started when he was like 8 or 9. He transcended time. Do you KNOW how hard it is to stay “relevant” in time? Something special indeed.
Anyway, they gave us these POWERFUL lyrics and music. The music crept into our soul, so when they passed on, a piece of our soul, passed with them. You really had to be there.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, not seen
Faith is simply believing in something, that isn’t there yet or is there, and can’t be “seen” with the eye. I have faith, I have strong faith! I have seen my faith work. It’s so beautiful. George Michael has a song called “Faith”.

At 8 years old, this song had a PROFOUND effect on me, and most of us from that era. It touched EVERYBODY! That’s the power of music. Music transcends time and brings all people together.
In humans, the subconscious is often impressed through music. Music has a fourth dimensional quality and releases the soul from imprisonment. It makes wonderful things see possible, and easy of accomplishment! (I can’t take credit for this information, it comes from this LIFE CHANGING BOOK!)
I can’t say enough great things about this book. “The Game of Life and How to Play It”. I’ve been winning for the last few years, simply off the strength of this book. But one thing is key. YOU MUST HAVE FAITH!
Listen to how these lyrics have power:
Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I’ll wait for something more
Do you KNOW how hard it is to wait?!!? It pains me to wait, but is often times QUITE worth it. Even in my own life, I have been working towards one of my goals for over 13 years. I’m still not there yet, but I can say completely, each year I am closer. It’s going to happen. It will happen.
That’s FAITH. Believing in you, when others would have given up a long time ago. Music has the power to help you in that “faith walk” every step of the way.
Keep going. You will get there.
