まったりと過ごす朝

今日は珍しくゆっくりと1日スタート
いまから自転車の整備を久しぶりにして、少しサイクリングかな。

最近は自分の時間をうまくとれていない日々が続いていたんだけど、しばらくはライブもせず制作に集中しないとな。

ちょっと大変になるけど、先輩のプロジェクトも積極的にサポートする事
考えていて、何か説明できないポジティブないいエネルギーを発している人だから、
力になりたいと考えている。

人を助ける事は以外と簡単そうで、大変。ボランティアするのはいいんだけど、実行段階で成し遂げる時間とスキルの投資は結構キツい時もある。だから中途半端な気持ちでは挑みたくないと考えている。

今日も1日頑張ろう

Summer is here


Tokyo is super hot these days because of summer.

Busy these days with business related things and I was just reflecting on how grateful I am for where I am today.

Also a colleague of mine gave me a book about a Japanese startup that was very successful creating a unique e-commerce service.

It reminded me of the days when I tried to get my own business to thrive and wow was that a challenge in so many ways.

Now that my focus is on music in my life, I don't think I'd go back to that entrepreneur life style immediately but I do miss the excitement and pressure sometimes.

One of the things I miss most is teaching.    Business-wise, it wasn't very profitable when I was teaching myself. But it was the most rewarding work outside of music that I have ever done.

There was something in common with music, where you put your life and soul into creating and communicating to enrich someone's life. It was about empowering others to be successful or happy.

I love that aspect about anything I do.
