The stars come out at night! In the sky. And on the Grammy stage. Who knew? That women’s bosoms would look so ripe. Or that Pink would deliver on the hype. Beyoncé was in the building. Honor of the night came from Jackson’s children. Musical talent in 3-D. Made the good times roll.

Stars from all genres. Putting on a show. Talent comes alive. In finding your voice. Everybody can sing. But not everybody can belt a tune. Know what you’re good at. It’s the one thing you own. Do the work. That produces private victories. Where you learn in ways. Before the glory days.

Make it funky. Put your stamp on it. More than just doing the work. Deliver added value. Don’t be a jerk. Some artists have longevity. Because of their talent’s purity. They’re just that good. Others have a signature. In how they roll the words. Or sing the note. From the gut or deep throat.

Fame rises from different star points. Some play guitar. Blow the horn. Pound the drums. They play-out as band members. Others as background singers. Then a shift occurs. Personality goes centerstage. Taking the lead. Going from opening act. To being the main attract. 

Developing talent into living your dreams. A lot like growing a fruit. There’s a seed in the core. Another part that has the juice. And the peel that glows in the dark. Seeds of success. Found in a vision within a vision. Talent gives the juice. Where results rock. And personality shines.

Hip Tip: Before your success can have its big night, a star is born out of freeing the light.
