PASSION FOR MUSIC

When I was pregnant while driving, I would occasionally blast the radio. When I did baby would kick so much you would think she was dancing. I am not a big music person so never thought she would be. My mom is hoping for musical talent since it runs on her side of the family. My sister and I not so much, however, we did get the artistic OCD traits.

It was interesting because the louder the music played the more she would kick. She seemed to like the hard rock or that which caused the most vibrations. I didn't really believe the kicks were music related although these moments lingered in t he back of my mind. So it appears she likes music. Today a song came on the movie we were watching and she really seemed to like it. So my mother went out and bought us kids songs CDs.

I was reading how music, nursery rhymes, help soothe children as well as develop the cognitive thinking. Children relate to different tones allowing them to make different and new connections in the brain, as well as allowing them to distinguish between the voices of parents or individuals that are speaking to them. It sounds important. It is no wonder they try to incorporate music and school.

I wonder if she will keep this interest. I met someone tonight that was really into music to the point of his career and that is what he does. The way he spoke about music, it was as if his whole face glowed the moment he began to speak about it. He said it started when he was very young, so perhaps this is something that should not be ignored. Either way it is something that makes her smile, and for that I am glad because to have that much passion for something is a beautiful thing.

Most people do not find their niche, their passions, or talents, and to be able to find something at a young age and know that is what you want to do in the future is a gift. What a lucky person to be passionate about what you do on a daily basis because so many of us are lost without any idea what we want let alone what we want to do. A simple thought: Do you pray for A passion? Just one single thing you could be amazing at, or do you crave to be good at everything and lack that excellence to excel beyond great in only one thing?
