Recently,
I attended a seminar that featured Naomi Judd, half of the
legendary country music duo, The Judds. Naomi, with her
talented daughter, Wynona, set the standard for country music by
selling millions of albums, performing to 'sold out' audiences,
and winning numerous awards.
The Judds had just finished a whirlwind reunion tour after a
decade of not appearing on stage together. During that time
Wynona pursued a successful career as a solo artist while Naomi
recovered from illness. Incidentally, Naomi's youngest
daughter, Ashley, is a talented actress.
Naomi talked about the early days of being a single Mom and
raising her two daughters and having a dream to "make it"
in the music business.
She worked as a nurse and actually secured a record deal with a
record company executive while a member of his family was a
patient.
She said that her daughters didn't always appreciate her
disciplinarian ways. In fact, the girls' favorite saying
was, "If it ain't one thing, it's your mother!"
But she was disciplining them for what would lie ahead for their
futures.
Naomi taught her girls five important life lessons:
|
|
|
(1) Change is the true nature of the world.
She insisted that security is superstition. The only true
security comes from within.
(2) Choices are sacred.
You always get to choose. Just learn to question every
choice that presents itself in your life.
(3) Honor your intuition, or inner wisdom.
Be defined from within. Silence and solitude can be helpful
and are creativity's best friends. Live by your inner
wisdom. "Your gut gets it before your head figures it
out."
(4) Take risks.
Risks can be fun. They help you out of your comfort zone.
You were actually BORN TO WIN. But "any kind of success
without personal fulfillment is still failure."
(5) Peace of mind is the goal.
It gives you the ability to deal with "stuff."
She
remarked that shutting out background noise, such as the TV, is
essential. There was a period of time when her and her kids
didn't have a TV for entertainment. In fact, there wasn't
any electricity, telephone, or running water.
As a result, Wynona improved her singing and guitar playing, while
Ashley honed her acting skills and became a voracious reader.
It's evident that Naomi has complete confidence in her inner
wisdom. She paced confidently back and forth on the stage,
making eye contact with every listener in the audience.
Naomi Judd is living proof that adopting these five life lessons can
help to enrich your life and fulfill your dreams.
