Music and the authentic self

Music would be in the top 3 conversation topics in our house. We often debate about who was the best Beatle and what our top 10 desert island disks would be. This topic of conversation has a lot to do with my wonderful and very creative boyfriend Ian who has been involved in the music industry in different capacities for the last 15 years. I can safely say that music is his life long love. I am not unhappy about this; it’s amazing to be exposed to new music almost daily without having to find it for myself. It’s also wonderful to listen to his musical creations and share his excitement when he has completed a new project. I am a little spoiled to tell you the truth.

I am inspired when he talks to me about music, his eyes light up and you can hear the happiness in his voice. He is one of the lucky ones; he doesn’t see what he does for money as work as he is doing what he loves! I acknowledge that it’s not easy to find work that you love. I mean work is work, the word itself is seen as somewhat negative, but we all have choices, and Ian decided a long time ago to follow his passion and create a working life that reflected his authentic self. 

Is your working life reflecting your authentic self?  Does this matter to you?
