How Going Public is Good for You

For as long as I can remember I misunderstood something of great importance. I shared ideas I shouldn’t have. And kept my mouth shut, when it would have benefited myself and others to talk.

Here’s what I mean.

I used to talk to friends and family about my goals and hardly ever speak of my previous successes.

Now I know – don’t share your goals with people, only share your accomplishments. This is probably the opposite of what most of us are brought up to think. Never brag, we’ve been told.

Then I realized, sharing a previous success is Not bragging. It’s only bragging if you start comparing yourself to others, saying you’re better than so and so. But the retelling of the accomplishment is not and ego trip.

What I’ve learned Not to share - except with my husband and one or two supportive friends and mentors - are my visions for the future. It used to be vice versa. I’d share my dreams and goals and thereby dissipate their energy. At the same time, I would keep the excitement and energy of my previous accomplishments secret and quiet.

I didn’t understand my previous successes were my blueprint for my future. They literally set the emotional and mental stage for how I was to accomplish my next project, however large or small.

By celebrating your accomplishments you set the stage for future success.

You can toast your accomplishments anyway you want. Just celebrate them. Because celebrating is giving thanks. Sharing your happiness is a wonderful form of gratitude.

Last week I was at the Library of Congress for the East coast premiere of my 3rd string quartet ‘Luminescence’. Well, the reception to the music was tremendous. The sold-out house embraced me with rousing applause. I got up on stage and opened up my heart to receive the joy and gratitude. I was moved to tears and immensely grateful.

This is something I wanted to share with you. Because many of us are very good at giving, and not so good at receiving. It’s only when you can receive your successes with the joy you created them that they take on a life of their own and act as catalysts for your next success.

The deeper I go with this, the greater the return. It’s why playing positively-charged music while you work, create and celebrate is so important.

Ever wondered why kings and queens always celebrated with music. Because music motivates. Play music and everything sinks in more deeply. Music powers up your emotional juices. It is a key ingredient to living the good life.
