What does it take?
QUESTION: Masters, my daughter is now 26 and has been writing and singing since age 14. She has worked so hard to achieve a record label signing and is not taken seriously. Everyone who hears her asks why she has not been signed but we do not have the answers. She has had spiritual readings who insist she must continue on and she will be heard by the millions who will appreciate her music but her demos are ignored. She is so low and I’m afraid she will become depressed if she continues. Can you advise? ~Sue, United Kingdom
ANSWER: Your daughter has a fantastic talent, which she has developed beautifully. She has some doubts about herself that are invisible barriers to her success. This mostly arises from her lack of self-love and confidence. She fears success as much as she desires to achieve it. When others tell her how great she is, her inner thoughts are, “Yeah, right; you are just saying that because you think you should, but what are you really thinking?”
The material she writes expresses her feelings. Take a close look at the yearning that it articulates. She needs to resolve her doubts and fears, which are life lessons she has not addressed.
She is projecting her fears with her music so that others are repelled by the energy that comes out at them. They are totally unaware of this happening. When she can accept herself as she is, she will start radiating love; that will be what others feel and they will want a share of it.
She has also not defined for herself what she wants in the field. Others have told her what she should desire, but she has not always felt that what others say is the thing she wants. One way she could figure it out is to start in a supporting role in the industry to see if this is what she wants full-time in life.
To allow her “discovery,” she has to remove the bursts of negative energy she projects. She won’t be able to do that until she feels love for herself and everything she does.
