Jack Knight Songwriting Academy

Where your word's become art, and your thought's become music

JACK KNIGHT "THOUGHTS ARE THINGS" WHATS YOUR OPINION

SOMETIMES WHEN YOUR IN NEGATIVE OR DRAINING RELATIONSHIPS OR WHEN YOUR SURROUNDED BY DYSFUNCTIONAL SITUATIONS YOUR ONLY OUTLET MAY BE YOUR DREAMS, YOUR IMAGIN-NATION, OR YOUR LIFE GOALS. WELL I HERE TO TELL YOU THAT CONSTANT VISUALIZATION, HARD WORK, AND PERSISTENCE IS THE FORMULA FOR MAKING YOUR HOPES AND DREAMS A REALITY. ITS THE FORMULA FOR MAKING WHAT YOUR THINKING BECOME REALITY IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD NOT JUST IN YOUR MIND.

I KNOW ME AND YOU BOTH HAVE HEARD ABOUT OR READ NUMEROUS BOOKS ON WHAT THE MIND CAN ACCOMPLISH. I'M LIVING PROOF OF THIS AS I WRITE THIS BLOG SITTING IN A BEAUTIFUL FLAT IN LONDON A PLACE THAT I SAID I WOULD LOVE TO FREQUENT THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF THE MONEY VALUE (POUNDS) AND THE ARRAY OF TALENT TO CHANNEL MY GIFT OF SONGWRITING AND MUSIC PRODUCTION. I JUST FEEL SO BLESSED TO KNOW THAT EACH TIME I'AM CONFRONTED WITH A PERSONAL OR FINANCIAL OBSTACLE I THEN GO INTO THE LABORATORY OF MY MIND AND WITH TIME, HARDWORK, AND FOCUS I MANAGE TO COME OUT EACH AND EVERY TIME. 

SOMETIMES IT STARTS OF WITH SMALL LEVELS OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF MY GOALS, THEN THE MASTER PLAN BEGANS TO UNFOLD IN FRONT OF MY EYES. I REMEMBER I SAID A FEW MONTHS BACK I WANTED TO GO TO HAWAII ONE DAY THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I GOT AN ALL EXPENSE PAID TRIP TO HAWAII THAT FOLLOWING MONTH TO DO SOME MUSIC PRODUCTION AND SONGWRITING WORK. 

I REMEMBER SAYING I WANT TO STAY IN THE TIME HOTEL IN N.Y AS OPPOSED TO STAYING ALL THE TIME WITH RELATIVES AND THE NEXT WEEK I GOT A WEEKS STAY AT THE TIME HOTEL WHEN SOMEONE BOOKED ME FOR SOME WRITING SESSIONS. 

I REMEMBER SAYING I WANTED A PARTNER IN LIFE WHO DIDNT DRAIN ME EMOTIONALLY, AND FINANCIALLY AND I FOUND SOMEONE WHO IN FACT HAD AS MUCH MONEY AS ME AND ALSO TAUGHT ME HOW TO GET IN CONTACT WITH MY INNER EMOTIONS EVEN MORE AND MY HEALTH.

I COULD GO ON AND ON WITH SMALL TO LARGE SCALE THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED AND ARE HAPPENING AS I WRITE THIS BLOG. WELL I'M ON MY WAY TO PARIS FOR A DAY, AND I FEEL SO BLESSED AND LUCKY, BUT OVERALL I KNOW MY "THOUGHTS ARE THINGS" SO WHAT ARE YOU THINKING??

I believe in you Kincie and I know your dream comes true because your positive attitude makes you already to a winner, it will always show you the right way. You are blessed with a talent and you work hard for your success and I know you will hold the medal in your hand at the end. My dream is to publish the book I have written, people over here laugh about me because they don’t believe in my dream but I believe in it and I worked hard for it and I will publish the book by myself next year. In the moment where I will hold this book in my hand I know that I have realized my dream, and whatever happened, this is something nobody can ever take away of me...holding my dreams in my hands....

Wow! JustDani is right. Your positive attitude and outlook has already made you a winner. That's crazy how people will do that...not show you much support while you're going through it, but then wanna say they knew you could do it all along AFTER you've succeeded...as if they were a part of it. lol

wow.... guys....This topic is starting to really touch home for me! Just a testimony (sound like I'm in church)lol. In 2001, I setoff to college in the world of Opera, thinking wow what an accomplishment, but the test of life didn't stop there.The trials I went through from nasty letters on my car and the jealousy (yeap in college). Being in a world and culture that is not known to my family and peers sometimes you are questioned your dreams and aspirations. Talent is not given to us accordng to what we want.. you feel me??.. I had believed in myself that the talent that was given to me from God! But my support system and surroundings was always negative. Not because people are boldly negative, some people dont know how to show postivity. ( I knew my family loved me but they didnt know how to show it)I performed 50 times a year as a requirement in the program and I can count how many times on my fingers on the support from my family. My vocal teacher said something very important, she said, Kincie, It's the end of the race that matters. Trophies aren't given for great starts. Medals aren't awarded for entering the race. A good start is cruical, but in the end, the end is all that matters. And On graduation day......... the very ones that didn't support me, were the ones that said, " I knew you could do it!" HAHA.... So through that lesson, when I am backed against the wall and my inner thoughts of negativity starts to beat me down. I think about why I was chosen to do this task, in the first place, and if I dont have a support system.. guess what? I see things in this prospective, "the doors of opportunity are marked push and pull......

Here's one of my favorite quotes which adds right to this idea:
Watch your thoughts, for they turn into words, watch your words, for they turn into actions. Watch your actions, for they turn into habits, watch your habits, for they turn into character. Watch your character, for it becomes destiny"

Very interesting, it's basically the Law of Atrraction, one of the main laws that rule the world. You attract in your life whatever you think, and I really believe in it. Been doing exercises to always think of what I want as opposed to what I don't want ("I want to be rich" all the time in my brain, as opposed to "I don't wanna be poor, I don't wanna be poor"). And I've also become very careful of my wording, of the words I use so casually, "It's hard" has been replaced by "It's easy" for everything
every now and then, I sit peacefully somewhere and I mentally put myself in situations I want for myself to the point of actually feeling sensations of happiness, peace and serenity. Gives me incredible drive

They laugh because they're afraid, they laugh because they wouldn't have the courage that you have. The only place that no one can control or take away from you is your brain. If as a writer or a singer or any kind of artist you realize this, you become a huge threat to the status quo.
They're laughing now but believe me, you'll have the last Laugh God willing

I was sooo reading through the comments waiting for LOA to come up lol! Many will say it's a figment of the imagination and they're right. It also incorporates the concept of "mustard seed faith"- If you dream it, God can give it. For myself, I find that it can be a bit overwhelming trying to perfectly picture every step of my life as perfectly as I can possibly imagine it. So instead I keep in mind that a happy life, is a string of happy moments and find the smallest things that make my spirit smile and my face laugh daily (as many times as possible daily! lol). If I stay in the Happy, more happy happens. What makes me happy is Success, so guess what I get more of daily? :)

Love, Peace and Happiness

I beleive that emaotions can be the motivation to write great songs. Without realizing where the emotions came from you will loose the focus to give your music direction. I think that emotion based songs require a moment of meditation before being began. At the point that you realize what you are write for gives you knowledge. The knowledge is your "thing". This you can share or keep for yourself.

Good. it works just like that. expressing yourself and your art. combining your gift with other writers, poets, singers, and producers. this is a small garden of creativity.

I can relate in so many ways but maybe your blessings also manifested easily because you are already established and you stayed focus...Lots of times people do not get what they want because they are specific or just dont have a mind that is developed to the degree in which it is necessary to handle all that comes with fame in the entertainment industry.

I think everybody is responsible for there lives. It's amazing how much I learned thru meditation and focused visualization. I see in my life how much for the better my life is changing thru affirmations and believing in myself. At first when I started producing I didn't know how it would happen for me but with persistence and hours of working on my craft and focusing on my thoughts on positive outcomes like people giving me compliments and also just picturing me jumping up and down with joy when I made a hot track. I always told my self I will break barriers and now with my thoughts and focus I can see the picture getting clearer. I'm very grateful I know this power that us spirits have. Napoleon hill wrote many great books that changed my life. Imagination is power.
