Even though scandal between these three have been dominating the tabloids recently, they all actually have some pretty damn good career and motivational advice.

You may not like these guys, but you have to respect their success. Their mindsets are what set them apart. Set yourself apart by adapting their ways of thinking:

I realize that I don’t have limits. Limits are always influences that come from outside, from people who don’t believe in themselves and their abilities. I firmly believe in myself.

-Madonna

Thanks Madonna! Why limit yourself to one man anyways.

I’m a terrible singer. I feel lucky to play baseball. You can’t be gifted in everything.

-A-Rod

You may not be the fastest shredder out there, but damn it your vibrato is so sweet it makes B.B King jealous. Exploit your strengths while working on your weaknesses to become a more rounded player. Just be sure to remember what it is that makes you unique from others. It could be something as simple as using a different tuning to utilizing your effects rack to make some wicked soundscapes.

I just need to know that I did the very best I could and that I was true to myself.

-Lenny Kravitz

Quit comparing your playing to others. You aren’t them. Sure it is a great way to push yourself to new levels, but be sure that you hare having fun and staying true to the music within your soul. A passionate performance is infectious. Music without passion is just pointless. Think about your how your favorite guitar solo makes you feel when you hear the first few notes.

I would put money on it that it gets you pretty damn pumped up.

Don’t worry about expectations or how others will perceive you. Even if they might not like your music, they still must have appreciation to your art.

Oh and of course A-Rod’s wife hooked up with Lenny. How could she resist? He is a guitar player!
