I am just trying to be helpful, and trust me I do whatever I can to get my own ass in gear. What really motivates me is music. Whatever your dreams are, I think the right songs can really help. But I am talking about fast, energetic songs that will make you want to move, make you want to take action.\u00a0So it is great if you like music, regardless of the kind. But wanting to dance isn&#8217;t enough. So if you want your own life-coaching in songs, stick to rock. No, I&#8217;m serious. And with rock, let&#8217;s get specific.\u00a0If you are looking to\u00a0get depressed, Radiohead is lovely. Grunge music can also help you to get lost\u00a0in the misery of it all. Hell, metal is great for head-banging and letting go of your anger. But, if you -like me- pay attention to they lyrics, rock music (mostly glam rock, hard- rock and classic rock)\u00a0is a great way to give you the push you need. Let me give some examples:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0 <strong>Band:<\/strong> Poison,\u00a0 <strong>Song:<\/strong> Cry tough<\/p>\n<p>Its\u00a0lyrics talk about about dreams;m about\u00a0how persistent you have to be in order to reach them. Now, before I give the lyrics and the link to the video for the song,\u00a0here&#8217;s why you should take this song seriously (and why it might be hard for you to do it) : Poison is rock band that made it big in the 80s. And by big, I mean they\u00a0became one of the biggest-selling\u00a0rock bands in the world.\u00a0 Your dream probably\u00a0has got nothing to do with making it big as a band. But a dream is a dream and becoming a widely known, top-selling band is not a piece of cake. The band members have tons of cash, popularity, chicks, millions of\u00a0fans\u00a0and freedom, but they didn&#8217;t start out that way. There was a time they actually had to crash at a launderette because they couldn&#8217;t afford rent. But they worked their butts off and never gave up. Now they are just enjoying the upside of the ride. Cry Tough is one of my favorite motivators. It&#8217;s not slow and definitely not hard- meaning you can take the sound even if you are not a rock fan. The catch? Just brace yourself for some awful 80s fashion. Hell, I like 80s rock but this video might be too much even for me. But remember: they might look funny, but they made it. Millions love their work.\u00a0 20 years later, they are still together and still loved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lyrics:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remember the nights we sat\u00a0 and talked about all our dreams<br \/>\nWell little did we know then they were more distant than they seemed<br \/>\nWell I knew it, you knew it too<br \/>\nThe things we&#8217;d go through, we knew the things we had to do<br \/>\nto make it, baby.<\/p>\n<p>You gotta cry tough out on the streets<br \/>\nTo make your dreams happen<br \/>\nYou gotta cry out, out to the world<br \/>\nTo make them all come true.<\/p>\n<p>Life ain&#8217;t no easy ride, at least that&#8217;s what I am told<br \/>\nSometimes the rainbow baby, is better than the pot of gold<br \/>\nYou&#8217;ve got to stick it out, whether you&#8217;re wrong or right<br \/>\nAnd you can&#8217;t give in without a fight, to make it baby<\/p>\n<p>for the video: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cjB65dUu_ws<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_78\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-78\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-78\" title=\"poison450\" src=\"http:\/\/marketingyourdreams.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/10\/poison450.jpg?resize=450%2C301\" alt=\"poison450\" width=\"450\" height=\"301\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-78\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Poison, now.
