Follow Lenny Kravitz’s Advice: ‘Sometimes You Just Have To Chill’
Just imagine that you are an artist and you were lucky enough to get career advice from superstar Prince. Indeed that did happen to singer Lenny Kravitz.
Today’s Kick Butt Tip of the Day is from Lenny Kravitz. “Sometimes you just have to chill.”
Kravitz appeared on a recent “The Check In” podcast. Lenny told the hosts that Prince once told him “you got to step away, chill and then it comes again.”
Because we are human, the creative juices don’t always flow smoothly. Sometimes it is best to not force the process. An idea might be to just shut everything down, take a break and then when you return, things fall into place. As humans, we are sometimes like our mobile devices. We need to be restarted to operate smoothly.
We both know that in relationships, an occasional break may actually bring two people closer together. It is the same thing when writing a song or trying to develop a new way of doing something. Hitting the pause button for a moment and then picking up where you left off, can actually pay dividends.
I have a co-worker who at one time was completely burned out. As we occasionally discuss, the best thing he ever did for himself was to find a new career. Now, it was not easy leaving the exciting world of radio, but he did. Now that he is back with Beasley Media, he has a much deeper appreciation for every aspect of his job. All he needed was to chill for a year or so. Now, he’s back and better than ever.
So, the next time progress seems to have stalled, remember when Price said. “Sometimes you just have to chill.”
Go get ’em tiger! God don’t make no junk. You, yes you are awesome! Now go be awesome!
