Reigniting My Passion

I read an article online about 5 tips to help reignite your passion, and I felt that there was some very valid points in it.  The article was written by Leslie Spencer Pyle from the Entrepreneur website http://www.entrepreneur.com/homebasedbiz/homebasedbizcolumnistlesleyspencerpyle/article204336.html , which spoke about how it's normal for people to feel "burned out" and wanting a change from the norm.  This is what I'm currently going through with music, because of how I've grown so tired of the same old routine being a native of a non-musical city (Denver,CO).

One tip mentioned in the article was about becoming an industry insider, which is kind of what I am trying to become while pursuing my masters degree through Full Sail University.  There is a music conference called the Independent Music Summit coming up in Cathedral City,CA http://www.goims.org/about.html in September of this year, and I really hope I'll be able to attend it and network with the right people finally.  I've really grown tired of the fact that, there are not any conferences of this type that come to Colorado ever, and it's become a real pain to deal with at this point.

I truly realize now that a relocation move is obvious, so that I would be able to attend these kinds of events on a regular basis.  I need to be in a musical city more now than ever, and it looks like it will either be Los Angeles or Las Vegas this summer.  I'm sure there have been many people like myself who have taken the risk and moved elsewhere to pursue their dreams.  In the meantime, I am trying to network more than ever through the various social media outlets that I follow.  Reigniting my passion for music has never been more important to me, because it's truly all I know and all I want to pursue in my life.

I also realize how much of a gamble it is to leave one place and move to another, but staying in Colorado has not worked out for me with my career choice of djing professionally.  Some of my dj associates have been able to make things work here, but I feel that I've grown too big for my hometown at this point.  I found another article on the same subject through a website called Helium ( http://www.helium.com/items/2164697-reignite-your-passion-for-your-career-motivation-for-career-how-to-become-more-motivated-at-work ).

In spite of how much of a challenge it will be to stand out from my competition , there comes a time in a person's life where that risk has to be taken.  I have given too many years of my life to this artform to give in to my frustration.  At this stage of my life, I need to do whatever it will take in order for my dreams to become a reality.  All I have ever wanted to do with my life has been to entertain the world behind turntables, and I want to do it before I'm too old and worn out to even try.
