Whatever you focus unyielding attention upon, without attachment or expectation, is guaranteed to yield to you. This is the power each human being has to create and manifest. The problem is, much of our focus is scattered and diluted due to internal resistance to life (drama & trauma).

I recently had the privilege of interviewing country music artist, national TV host, author and media coach Amy Scruggs about her success as a musician (she’s been in the country music industry for more than 15 years opening for artists like Clint Black, Trace Adkins, Charlie Daniels, etc… and currently has a newly released single that is charting globally. In addition to her career in the music industry, Amy also thrives in the media world having been the host of several national TV shows.

Amy’s story has been filled with challenges as well. Through homelessness, loss, and well meaning “encouragement” to forget her dreams so she can focus on simply surviving, Amy refused to shift her focus away from her deepest motivations in life. What guided her was a powerful awareness of her identity and her desires.

Amy’s story is the very embodiment of the main message in my book ‘Living for a Living’. You won’t feel fulfilled if you’re just existing to pay the bills. We need to shift our focus beyond simply surviving, to discovering the ‘Why’ of our very existence. Amy’s story is truly miraculous and she is an example for all of us on how knowing our deepest ‘Why’ in life can lead to a fulfilling career of service to others.

My interview with Amy is available on my podcast The Love Cast with Jamal now. I hope you’ll tune in and listen to the nuggets of gold that are contained in this episode. You can listen to my full interview with Amy Scruggs HERE.
