People ofter forget about serving others first. When that is your true motive, it becomes obvious and others tend to respond to that. Yep, I agree Alan.

Just as you said, we should treat other with respect. It always bothers me to have someone I know treat their friends great but treat the server at a restaurant or the person behind the checkout terrible. You find it hard to trust anyone that does not respect people. We just need to be conscious of how the little things in life and business affect the big things. Once we do, those little "should do" things become more important to get done before anything turns into a crisis. Great post. Thanks It all boils down to relationships.

It is a strange life, on the road. I am thankful for a very supportive spouse. Thanks Brian,

So many people aspire to something like being a professional musician or "celebrity" of some sort, but don't always realize what they're asking for. I used to wonder why any musician would be interested in being a session musician rather than being in a band. But over time I've realized how difficult (and potentially harmful) a life on the road can be for a person and a family. I now see how being a session musician could be a great balance. (I have no musical ability, so I'm jealous of anyone that can play ANY instrument with skill) :) Great advice Jeff!

Reminds me of a teaching i once heard about how u still have to 'cut' that 'green' grass on the other side of the hill. You just can't only lay in it. Nice read Jeff.

We certainly do it for the "right" reasons, but at the end of the day we still struggle sometimes with whether the "right" reasons are "right" when we are the leaders of our household. We have had this conversation over and over with guys who have been doing it for 30+ years. We all struggle. Ah, yes, I remember the days of single life. I could be gone for a month and only miss my momma, haha. Hope to cross paths out there someday! I hear ya!

But definitely not because of some illusion of glamour or fame. I've been an indie musician for only 2 1/2 years now, but I have been working super hard and "cutting my teeth" on the road in all of that time (and I've been on the not-so-glamorous really hard side for a bit! haha), but God has still placed this burning passion in me to do this crazy music thing because of the people I get meet and get to hear their stories about how God does something powerful in their life through my songs.. !? Crazy. But I do realize it's not about me, or the music, it's about His Word. Plus, I'm 22 and single, which makes the dream I'm living/aspire to live feel a lot more do-able right now. So, I'm trying to take advantage of this season of my life and push forward for the Kingdom. Who knows where God will take it... but he's taken me a long way from where I started already... so that's hopeful :)... Btw, Redmon played guitars on the album I recorded earlier this year at Integrity with Quimby. That's how I stumbled upon your twitter & blog! :)...

Know it is a process that must be explored day by day. I am still figuring it out today. Stay grounded in your faith and surrounded with your family and you can't go wrong. Alex, thanks for sharing.
