Who am I being that my players' eyes are not shining?

My job is to awaken possibility in other people.

I'm so sorry for you; your lives have been so easy. You can't play great music unless your heart's been broken.

How often do we stand convinced of the truth of our early memories, forgetting that they are assessments made by a child? We can replace the narratives that hold us back by inventing wiser stories, free from childish fears, and, in doing so, disperse long-held psychological stumbling blocks.

It's not a question of how much power you can hoard for yourself, but how much you can give away.

My job [is] to awaken possibility in other people. If their eyes are shining, you know you're doing it. If they're not shining you get to ask this question: "Who am I being that my children's eyes are not shining?"

Everybody loves classical music they just don't know about it yet.
