Every Muse That Inspires

What life expects of us is rarely what we want it to be. It’s also something we have little control over. We can hazard a guess as to how much we will be called upon to give of ourselves in any situation but, being ready to give everything we possibly can is what separates outgoing individuals from reserved ones. Reluctance, whether displayed to the world or not, will eventually brand a person in a negative way.

What we expect from our lives is rarely what we eventually receive. We can set lofty goals, or goals of obscurity, what unfolds for us will never be fully realized until the final moment of truth. Such is the molding of some memories. Have you ever looked back across the sea of time that is your life and seen the glistening or bruising of situations past? If so, remember not to dwell on the negative too long. Don’t ever forget the good or the bad, but just don’t dwell on the negative. Such actions age our souls prematurely.

Each of us has deep in our hearts and souls a reserve of our energies such as time, thoughts, strengths, and emotions. Our lives are hopefully a long journey from birth to death. Over that finite span of time we must learn to meter out these energies. Better yet, we must learn how to replenish them whenever and however we can. We can let life run us down if we’re not careful. Downtrodden, that’s the point at which we might turn to a friend for help, but not always do we do so.

The flame of eagerness is a fast-burner. It’s also finicky. Not just any emotional fuel can feed it. The right stuff will burn hot and bright, yet be consumed slowly. The wrong stuff will burn just a vigorously but it will be exhausted far too quickly. It takes the better part of a lifetime to realize that we are responsible for the proper mixture and the feeding of that furnace as well as others. Every emotion has a mental furnace and how we tend them is directly reflected in our character.

If you can make friends, be good to them. Never choose any one or more over, any more or one. Always treat them the way you would want them to treat you. There will eventually be fallings-out. They are inevitable. What you end up with in the way of rationalization will be determined by your actions, and both yours and your former friends memories of everything that was experienced in the defunct friendship.

I think wisdom is an integral part of writing songs. You have to have some type of profound chapter along your road of life that catalysis the emotions and ties each mental reaction to words. The words in turn will become the fuel for the eagerness that urges you to complete the circle of thought. Once resolution is achieved the song is complete by the writers regard at the least. Every songwriter is a different person. By that reasoning, every song is a different expression of the human condition, and every muse that inspires an artist is unique.
