Death Valley

Death Valley, Nevada is called that because nothing grows there and the reason nothing grows there is because it never rains in Death Valley.

In the winter of 2004 it rained in Death Valley. It got seven inches of rain.

In the spring of 2005 the floor of Death Valley was covered with plant life.

People came from miles to witness this phenomenon that they may never see again, plant life in Death Valley – proving that the plant life has always been there, Death Valley was alive.

It was just asleep. It just needed the right circumstances to blossom. The seeds were there waiting for the right circumstances to flourish. People are like this.

If the conditions are right they will flourish, they will find their true calling and begin to live, not just exist. We need to think about Death Valley when we’re teaching our children.

They have the creative seeds in them. They just need the right conditions to flourish, to grow, to become something special and it’s up to us to make those conditions just right for them.

It’s also important to realize that no matter what age you are, you have the creative seeds in you; you just need the right conditions to let them flourish.

Thomas Edison said, “People would be astounded if they did all the things they were capable of doing.”

Let your creative juices flow. Challenge yourself, do something with your life. Don’t die with your music still in you.
