Learning to Play Music Is Fun!

Music is really the food for soul. You know how amazing it feels to listen to music in every day life. It can lift you up when you are down and can transfer so much energy to you that really amazes you.

So have you ever imagined, now that it feels so good to listen to music… how amazing it will feel to be able to play it yourself, in any way your heart desires?

So have you ever tried learning to play a musical instrument?

I first started learning to play piano a couple of years ago. It was so much fun to be able to play my favorite music myself. Also not to mention how brilliant and smart you feel when you can actually compose a unique music. :)

I didn’t go to any class to learn it though, as classes have been always too slow for me. So I decided to learn it online using free courses and also a DVD course.

Everyone laughed at me at first when told them I was learning piano online using free courses, but when they saw me read sheet music and even play by ear after a few months. :)

You see? Learning music is really easy. You can definitely do it too, if you are interested.

OK, so recently I thought, “Hmmm, just ONE musical instrument is not enough adventure.”

So then I bought an acoustic guitar recently to learn to play guitar as well as piano.

So what about YOU? Have you ever tried learning to play music? If no, why not?

If you knew you could learn it in a week, what musical instrument would you like to play?

  • Carpe Diem… Seize the Day!

    Have you seen some people getting done 2 things in their day… while some others can accomplish as many as 10 or more?

    How is it possible? Don’t we all have the same 24 hours a day?

    For example, if you were planing to do some work today, go for shopping tomorrow, and read your favorite book the next day, you can do it all in one day, and then some.

    Yes, it’s true but also there is a secret…

    –> You can stretch your day as long as you want, to get much more done!

    When you seize your day, you see amazingly how you can do what you normally did in 3 days… in only one single day.

    And you know how significant it is?

    Doing a simple math, living 3 days in 1 day, also means you’ll end up accomplishing in one month as you used to get done in 3 months, and then in one year rather than 3 years…

    And then later you’ll live in 10 years as much as 30 years.

    And finally, you could be living 3 lifetimes in ONE.

    The power of it is truly amazing!

    You see how valuable it will be to your life?

    When I used to go to school, I remember my classmates were all studying their lessons and doing their homework every day. And spend the few hours left in a day to watch TV and have fun.

    What I was doing, was that I was studying the same lessons and on top of that, also starting my brand new website and online business, while also reading lots of self improvement books to grow my success.

    Not to mention spending good time of fun and hobbies as well.

    So how was it possible that we all had the same amount of time in a day, and one ended up doing multiple times more than others?

    Yes, your secret key is that you can seize the day to get as much out of it that you want.

    You can try for yourself! :)

    You’re going to love the results of how faster you can make progress and succeed faster to reach your goals.

    Create Your Dream Life Today with The Sims

    You may have heard of the famous game, The Sims. It’s been around for many years and it keeps coming with new versions and many expansion packs.

    I first started playing it several years ago when it was still in version 1 and almost new. Me and my younger brother loved it so much at that time and we spend hours every day playing it - feeling as if it was really our home and family.

    You know the funny story of how we first found out about this game?

    I was listening to an interview from my favorite music artist at that time, Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys, and he was mentioning how fun this game was and how it worked.

    So I was like, “Sounds like a cool game. Let’s try it!”

    Turns out this simple accident helped me find my #1 all time favorite game. (Thanks Nick!) :-)

    Later I stopped playing it because I was busy with my business and thought I was no longer a “kid” to be playing computer games.

    But after a few years, I tried playing it again recently, still amazed how it’s actually a great fun way to create our dream life with details and getting creative ideas for various activities to try in our real life.

    Not to mention using the power of Law of Attraction to actually attract our dream life.

    Turns out, we don’t have to be a kid to be playing fun video games in our spare time. ;)

    Business is work. Fun is fun. Both are 100% necessary.

    So have you ever tried this game?

    You can check out some fun screenshots from their official website here.

    Wishing you a fun, wonderful day!

    Have you watched the recent Disney animated movie: Wall-E?

    After hearing some great reviews about it from friends and also online, I decided to go watch it with my good friend.

    This movie is about a robot called Wall-E who has a mission on earth: cleaning up the mess that last generations have cuased. He has been ding this for a long time… 700 years.

    Even though hundreds of his other robot friends has already broken down and he is the only one left in the world, he still keeps on going and cleans the earth with full dedication every day.

    Until one day, a female robot is brought to the earth on a mission and this adds another purpose to Wall-E’s life. He goes on an exciting risky adventure of traveling to the space looking for this robot and meets the humans of the next generations. (Because humans have left the earth to live in a big spaceship.)

    … And this is the beginning of even more adventures for Wall-E, the female robot, and our human folks in the spaceship.

    I’m not going to reveal the entire story so you can enjoy it as a surprise when you see it for yourself.

    The bottom line is, if you are a fan of cute lovely movies, you’re going to love this animated movie.

    But even more than that, if you’re a fan of meaningful movies that give you interesting insights, open up your mind to new ideas, and make you feel you’ve learned some thing wonderful after spending your time at the cinema, you’re also going to love Wall-E.

    One more thing…

    Warning: Bring an extra pair of hands with you. :)

    Go watch this movie with a good friend or your loved one. Because in some parts of it, you’ll be searching for a hand to hold, and if no one familiar near you, you might as well grab the stranger’s hand next to you.
