How To Be A Rock Star

Chances are at one time or another you have been called a rock star. That moment felt extraordinary, didn't it?

It doesn't take much to acquire a rock star status. All that's required is to be yourself. How difficult is that?

At one time a rock star was, just a rock star. A musician who performed rock music. They are still rock stars, but now we could all be a rock star and not even know how to sing!

As a matter of fact even if we sing off key and the dog covers his ears, you could still brand yourself a rock star!

I've listed some qualifications to be able to perform like a rock star. Your performance doesn't have to be an Oscar winning moment. Take baby steps if you need to.

If you need some motivation I suggest you watch the Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney music video. I also recommend watching the movie Rock Star if you haven't seen it yet.

Once you get in the habit of rock star thinking and actions...the rest will come naturally. Always remember that someone considers YOU are a ROCK STAR!
