The best tool in my toolbox…
A lot of you may be confused by the title of this post. How does a reference to a toolbox fit into the realm of a dance music MP3 download store?
All around the world people lack motivation and inspiration. There are few things in the world that inspire more than music. As Dan said in his post “Right Time Right Place“, when that song comes on at the right place and at the right time, few things can be more moving.
What a lot of people don’t realize is that music (especially Dance music) can be used as a tool to get yourself motivated for anything. Music evokes emotions and when you can put emotion behind a task or a goal, it gives you that much more power to reach for that goal or to get things done.
For example, as lame as it sounds, when I am setting goals or making important decisions I will play music that will make me feel like I am important. Some examples are:
“Leftorium”- Anil Chawla, Dale Anderson [Global Underground]

Leftorium Original Mix |

“I try” - François DuBois [Urbantorque]
 |
|
I Try Original Mix |
François DuBois | Urbantorque Recordings 2007-05-14 |

If I need to get motivated to do something high energy I will throw on a track like this:
“Warrior” - Andy Caldwell [OM Records]
 |
|
Warrior Andy Caldwell’s Electric ReRub |
Andy Caldwell | OM Records 2007-04-13 |

The best thing about using music as a source of motivation is that it is always available. Any time you want, 24-7, you can throw on your Ipod or your home speakers and play that beautiful song that gives you chills.
To summarize, the next time you are feeling down or need some motivation and inspiration, (legally) download a sick MP3 of a song that makes you FEEL something, fire it up on your system and let the beautiful melodies and baselines inspire.
