“One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.” – Abraham Maslow

"You should kill a lion every day", I was told by this guy I once knew. I believe this Brazilian saying refers to overcoming the daily obstacles and difficulties in the pursuit of our goals. Stay safe, or kill a lion. I prefer the word 'tame' instead of 'kill', since lions are an endagered species that could go extinct by 2050. But you get the idea. .

Let’s make one thing clear: safety is a good thing. Psychologist Abraham Maslow pointed that out quite clearly in his hierarchy of basic human needs. We are less likely to perform at our highest potential unless our basic needs are met. That’s why the Starving Artist idea doesn’t work that well in real life. But here’s the thing: growth requires discomfort. Not the "not having enough money to pay for your bills and buy food" type of discomfort. But the type of discomfort we experience when we step out of what feels ‘safe’ for us. Like taming lions. .

In the latest edition of my VOICINGS e-letter, we'll talk about how to tame the lions along your vocal journey. You'll also find the latest vocal coaching updates AND find out how to save €100 on the enrolment for SING EVERYTHING, an online group class that's starting in 2 weeks from now! .
