THE GRITTY MUSICIAN | A Podcast for Musicians in Progress

My name is Bruce, and I am a university music educator. My journey towards a full-time career in music took many twists and turns – some so jarring that I wondered if I had what it took to survive the trip! What came out of these struggles was my grit. Why grit? Grit combines passion, ambition, toughness and strength of character. If you want a career in the arts, grit will be what separates you from the pack. Are you scared about where your career in the arts is headed? Do you wonder if you have what it takes to endure the journey? The Gritty Musician Podcast is here to help you!

In this episode, Bruce talks about the role of the past in our current lives, and how anger and pain can be a direct result of dwelling on a past that we can no longer change.

Crucial to "living in the present moment" are the teachings of Eckart Tolle, who's book "The Power Of Now" is known world over for changing the lives of countless people.

Tolls quotes from this episode include:

"The past has no power over the present moment."

"The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation, but your thoughts about it."

"What a liberation to realize that the "voice in my head" is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that."

"Where there is anger, there is always pain underneath."
