He created many notes in music so that we would not be stuck playing the same song. Be music always. Keep changing the keys, tones, pitch, and volume of each of the songs you create along your journey and play on. Nobody will ever reach ultimate perfection in this lifetime, but trying to achieve it is a full-time job. Start now and don't stop. Make your book of life a musical.

Take control of your life, and never allow limitations implanted by society, tell you how your music is supposed to sound — or how your book is supposed to be written.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["adventures","ambition","attitude","be-music","beautiful","change","change-life","change-management","changes","composer","control","control-your-life","creativity","destiny","destiny-and-attitude","different","discover","doubt","dreams","drive","failure","fate","fear","fearlessness","goals","harmony","inspirational","inspire","instruments","life","life-and-living","life-control","life-inspiration","life-journey","life-lessons","life-motto","life-path","life-philosophy","life","life-books","life-sayings","live-fearlessly","living","living-philosophy","motivation","music","musical","musician","new-things","path","perfection","pitch","refine","same","sameness","seek","society","song","songs","success","suzy-kassem","tones","travel","volume","wisdom","wonder","wonderment","writer"],"id":123842,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"},{"text":"You think of outside your room, of the streets of the town, the lonely little squares over by the station, of those winter Saturdays all alike.","author":"Marguerite Duras","tags":["loneliness","monotony","sameness","winter"],"id":169405,"author_id":"Marguerite+Duras"},{"text":"I feared the defining point of this Hell was its unrelenting uniformity, its lack of variation from type. If there was a heaven at the end of this, it must be filled with great variety, perhaps a multiplicity of intelligent species spread across universes.
