Tuning your Instrument


After a concert, a famous cellist was approached by an audience member. We’ll call him Peter.

Peter said to the cellist, “I’d give my life to be able to play like that!” 



The cellist replied, “I did”.



The cellist knew from an early age that to master the playing of his instrument, he had to practice. And practice specifically and consistently, every day, for decades. He knew that if he did that, maybe, just maybe, he could give voice to through the genius that lay within himself through the music of Mozart, Brahms and Beethoven. 

As human beings, we don’t have an instrument made of wood, or brass or a combination of hammers and strings. But we do have an instrument! It’s us – our voices, our minds, our bodies and our spirits. And like the cellist, if we want to be able to give voice to the genius within us, to allow the music of our hopes and dreams for ourselves and all of humanity humanity to shine - we have to practice with, and tune our instruments specifically and consistently.

What are you willing to practice on a daily basis to bring the very best of who you are to the world?
