Music can change the world because it can change people. Bono

What’s your favorite music?

How does it move you?

What do the words say?

Does the music you like inspire and motivate you?

Listening to music can be a beautiful experience, but music also has the power to influence your thoughts.

Music is like a subliminal drug; it can penetrate your brain and dance with your subconscious.

In fact, let me share with you an ancient Persian tale I once heard about how music came to be.

The day after making man God created the soul. And god asked the soul to enter the man’s body. But , just as the soul was about to move in to the man’s body it turned back.

God asked the soul “what happened, why did you turn back?”

The soul said, “It’s dark in there and I’m scared.”

This got god thinking.

And then god had an idea.

He created music and put it inside man.

Once he did this the soul was no longer afraid and happily went in to the man.

Now obviously this is just a tale, but if you do listen to music you know how it is capable of affecting your mood.

This is also the reason, because of its power; music has been used as propaganda for years.

So pay attention to the music you listen to.

Choose it not just to entertain you, but also to empower you, to influence you on your terms.
