You can have as many lives as you care to reinvent.
As Steve Jobs says, there is no way to link up your story into the future, you can only join up the dots when you look into the past to see the path travelled and lived.
In my life I have written poetry, taught, sung professionally, composed music and then, one day, not entirely by chance, I became a singing coach. My experiences led me to a point where they prompted the need and desire to transmit all I had learned to other singers. It was only by experiencing everything I had learned and lived before that I could translate this into my true passion: training singers.
This was the moment when I felt that the dots in my life were beginning to join up.
My experiences as a teacher, added to those as singer and composer, have acquired a completely different relevance to their original value for me, and today I see that the parts of my life fit together progressively, naturally, laying the foundations for my existence and enriching it a little more every day.
So, now I return to teaching as I used to before. Something that makes me intensely happy; singing and also helping people who are singers, like I myself was once, people with dreams, hopes and the will to triumph. Teaching is the one thing that brings me greatest happiness.
Sometimes you don’t know why you have to take different paths in life and why you have to overcome certain obstacles. However, you just have to live through them, make the most of them and trust in the fact that each moment lived is part of an ongoing process in constant flux.
Everything starts to make sense when the pieces begin to fit together and make up the jigsaw puzzle and you find that there are no bits missing in your personal history, which is both unique and unrepeatable
