As composers of music we think of our songs as our children so that positive comments never seem good enough. The
negative comments, well, they are devastating.
Romans
8:36-38 “Just as it is written, 'FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH
ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED.' But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him
who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor
powers, can separate us from the love of God.
Letting comments stop progress is like
looking back when we are plowing a field.
Luke 9:62 “But
Jesus told him, "Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is
not fit for the Kingdom of God."
Stay focused and write a boatload of
songs cause this will help overcome those immature feelings of doubt.
We must think like a salesman who plays the ‘Numbers
Game’.
The more songs we write, the better our perspective becomes on our own work and the less worried we are about
what other people think about us.
Sorry, there’s no way around this. We
must create a catalog of songs to find our ‘voice’ as music composers.
Be patient with ourselves.
Put our hand to the plow.
And write, write… write.
