Cherish Every Moment, Nothing Lasts Forever

I try as much as possible to turn a negative situation into a positive one.

Recently, my car wouldn’t start. The battery had finally given up and to get this car problem fixed I had to do a lot of waiting around.

It was from this waiting that I got the idea for this post.

You see, in the past, when I found myself in this type of situation I would get really stressed, angry and unbearable to be around. This was because I’d be thinking about all the ‘time’ I was wasting and all of the ‘things’ that I had to put on hold.

It never occurred to me that eventually the situation I was in would pass and I would again be my productive self with a car that was fully functional.

However, I handled this car experience very differently.

I was calm, cool and collected. I was only focused on solving the problem at hand in a methodical and purposeful way. I didn’t allow my emotions to get involved at all.

I kept reminding myself that ‘this situation will eventually pass. ‘I need to be patient and embrace this moment for it will be my greatest teacher.’

Now here’s where the songwriting part of this post gets tied in.

If, at this very moment you’re feeling stuck in a creative rut with nothing coming out. Realise this…

It won’t last forever so learn something from it.

If, on the other hand you’re feeling overwhelmed with the songwriting ideas that are pouring out of you. Realise this…

It won’t last forever so cherish every moment of it.

We, as songwriters will experience peaks and troughs all throughout our creative lives. Life in general is a cyclic experience, always has been and always will be.

Wherever you are at right now, whether good or bad, remember.

It won’t last forever.

Until next time, happy writing,
