Taking risks in our lives can be one of the most intimidating and frightening things we ever do. However, at some points in our lives, we must take risks in order to succeed and to be happy. Obviously sometimes we may fail, but if we do not take a chance, then we fail before we even begin.

All of my life, music has played an important role in keeping me healthy as well as making me extremely happy. The kind of music I listen to daily, of course, depends upon my state of mind and mood. Some days I feel energetic and use rock music as exercise and dance to my favorite songs. Other times I want to create a quiet, meditative mood with softer music—often simply instrumental only.
