I believe people who live a Musical Life accept that life is an uncertain journey full of peaks and valleys, ups and downs based on who you are as a creative force.
Most people live a life based on security and more direct financial goals. They accept their occupation and family as their main goals and feel no mental pressure that there is something else missing that they have to do.
A person living a Musical Life knows that levels of success are gambles but success isn't the goal. It's just part of what may happen on the ride of life.
