Why I Believe in You
Published: Sun, 04/13/14
what
do you do
what
do you do
what
do you do
when no one believes in you...
when no one believes in you...
These
lyrics are from "Believe," a song I wrote and recorded
for my newest
album, Reflection.
Part
of the inspiration for this song was triggered by a relative's
criticism of my music. (See the story in my book, At
Zero).
I'd
really let it get me down to the point that I'd stopped creating
new music.
I felt pretty bruised and needed time to contemplate and
gather forces.
It
made me wonder what anyone would do without belief in themselves.
We
all need someone to believe in us.
For
example, I needed it last year when I wanted to make a significant
change to my body, something I had struggled with and against since
I
was little. When you've had an issue that long, it can be
overwhelming
to try to change it on your own.
So I didn't.
Instead,
I went to Bill Phillips, friend and creator of the phenomenal,
bestselling Body
for Life
book and program.
No
one's quite like Bill. He's not only a master of nutrition and
physical health, he helps people transform
who they are in relationship
to their body.
He does this, in part, by believing in them.
My
first weekend at his Transformation Camp, I watched him say,
"I
believe in you," to every person there - including me.
The
results speak for themselves. (I even got to flex my new "Popeye"
bicep muscles and show off a bit at my last event
in Austin when
he
and I were on stage together.)
So
in part, that's another reason I wrote the song - I wanted to
give
a nod to Bill for saying he believed in me.
I
learned a little secret
dreams
do come true
all
you need
is
someone who believes in yo...
So, what do you do when no one believes in you?
Like
I did with Bill, you find the people who do.
It's that simple.
And in the case of my music, that's exactly what I did.
I
went back to the people who had supported me in the first six albums,
including my music producer and co-author of The
Remembering Process:
A Surprising (and Fun) Breakthrough New Way to
Amazing Creativity,
Daniel Barrett.
I
took the songs I'd written so far and, with an open mind, placed
myself
in their love and trust to further develop them. As a team, we
crafted each
one into a healing and giving message.
you
got a dream
you
try your best
some
urge you on
others
detest
And this collaboration paid off big time.
Reflection
ended up being a kind of quantum leap for me, more
on target
as a whole than any previous album.
Yet
none of this would have happened if I hadn't reached out and let
others support me.
The
beauty in this is that you don't have to have every detail figured
out to go for your dreams.
You
just have to get involved with people you trust. And don't be
afraid
to hire them if you need to. Depending on what you're doing,
sometimes
it takes professional feedback to go to the next level.
Whatever
you do, don't get stopped.
Take the advice in the song:
you
turn your cheek
you
smile and strut
you
let the world see
no
ifs ands or buts
And remember...
I
believe...in YOU.
Love
Joe
