I have a Pandora station built around epic move soundtracks and songs that make me feel like I’m fighting a dragon with a flaming sword.
It works every time.
If I’m a little stale or dull or tired of the same old podcasts or in a work rut, I go for a walk, pop in the headphones, and let Hans Zimmer, Michael Giachinno, or Ennio Morricone pull my body out of the suburbs and into the epic tale of my life, seen from 30,000 feet.
Few things have the same power to remind me why I do things, and inspire me to push through the crap.
There’s a reason stories have been the most effective medium of communication since man’s beginning. Music that conjures and teases out your story in your mind’s eye is a powerful tool.
This isn’t a blog post, it’s a last ditch volley of flaming arrows to signal the coming charge into destiny.
