Serena Dyer: Don’t Die with Your Music Still in You
DIRK TERPSTRA: In the spring of 2014 you will publish your own book called: “Don’t Die With Your Music Still In You” (click the book to pre-order).
I know that this is also your dad’s favourite quote, but can you explain to me what this title means to you?
Serena Dyer: The title means for me that we all come here with a physical body where everything is taken care of –
even the bodies that don’t come here looking like everybody else’s body, that’s part of that person’s individual journey –
so I believe that we come here with the physical body provided for us and we incarnate into this body and I am this person.
I also write about my belief that there’s a purpose for us, it is something our soul comes here to experience, that is my belief.
Whether you choose to follow that calling or not is really the biggest choice in your life – Do I go after my purpose, my dharma, what I feel I came here to do, to learn, to teach, to spread, to be part of, or do I live somebody else’s life?
Not dying with the music still in you, means not dying having lived somebody else’s life, not dying and having served pizza’s in stead of writing music. We all have a calling, we all have a purpose and that purpose could literally be anything in the world. It doesn’t have to mean making a lot of money, it doesn’t have to mean having fame or a great deal of success but we have something that excites our soul that we feel called to do.
