The first tip in making your own music is to go with your gut. How many times have you wondered what you should do but instead of listening to your own gut you listen to others and do something else letting that other person control your destiny.

You need to make the decisions for yourself. If you try something and fail then there are lessons you can learn from it to let you grow. We need to learn from our failures to grow ourselves and make ourselves better.

Over thinking can also cause you to limit yourself. I often times will over analysis something and while doing it miss out on opportunities. Some of us tend of over think on too many problems and it causes us not to take any action. After all, what is the worse that could happen?

The second tip from Mozart is to choose how you want to be treated. You must set your own value and not let others set the value for you. If you set yourself cheap then you are creating a victim mentality that you're the victim of your circumstances.

Finally thoughts and ideas can show up at odd times so you need to be ready. Always carry a pen and paper with you so that you can write down ideas whenever they come to you. Sometimes I will get ideas while I am sitting on the a bus or light rail train, watching a good movie, or many other times something will pop in so I write it down so I can develop it more later.

As the Positivity Blog says, replace the habit of saying "I will remember it" with writing it down immediately.

You need to learn lessons from the greats, and Mozart is one of those greats that lessons should be learned from.
