I have been working with artists for over ten years and I have found that there is consistently a reason that people say they cannot get their vocal practice in or they cannot pursue their music career. That excuse is that they don’t have time.
I want to address this today. I am no stranger to this excuse either! But when I find myself making this excuse I have to stop and think, “how am I going to creatively make this happen?” The reality is, most of the time if it is important enough to you, you will make the time.
If you are super passionate about something, it becomes a priority. You have to evaluate for yourself, am I using time as an excuse to let myself get away with not practicing or for not pursuing my goals or bettering my craft? I would say that a good amount of people are sitting there on social media and yes, it’s important to stay up to date with things and check in with friends, but are you sitting there for hours and then saying you don’t have time for other things?
The big thing that I would say to all of you is, if something is important to you then you’re going to make it a priority and you’re going to make it happen. If you are trying to pursue something, for example, a career as an artist and you keep finding yourself saying “I don’t have time” then I would ask you to evaluate that. Evaluate if it is really what you want.
The people I have seen succeed and push through all types of barriers to accomplish all kinds of amazing things never use time as an excuse. They always find a way.
If you are always saying you don’t have time then I challenge you to sit down and make a list of your priorities and see if you are putting time into the things you really want.
