SOS Episode #28: Get Connected!: Debunking The Myth Of Fame (Part 7 of 7)
Fame. Celebrity. Star. Superstar. What do these words bring to your mind?
Are you famous? Do you want to be? Are you hoping to be famous someday? Have you given up on your chances at fame? Has fame never been important to you in the first place? Are you secretly jealous of those who have achieved notoriety?
Though fame may be a powerful resource, the quest to achieve or sustain it can be a grand illusion and costly distraction–one that that holds many artists back. The quest for connection, on the other hand, brings with it the promise of deeper relationship–to the music, the audience, and to oneself.
Join the SOS conversation as the last of seven common myths of musicianship and the creative process–fame–is explored from a broader perspective than usually addressed in most music and entertainment circles.

Joshua,
You hit the nail right on the head with this series of myths. You know exactly what you are talking about. It is this kind of knowledge that we need to instill in people at school in order to have a chance of people living their purpose and achieving their desires, which is what we are all here for; to express each our uniqueness of life itself and share the unity of existence.
This goes for any industry or walk of life.
Excellent work, you’ve got a new listener!
