Destined For Greatness

Pursuing the dream of a musical vocation—particularly in rock music—is typically regarded as an adolescent pipedream. Music is marked as an appropriate leisure activity, but one that should be discarded upon entering adulthood. How then do many men and women aspire to forge careers in music upon entering adulthood? In Destined for Greatness, sociologist Michael Ramirez examines the lives of forty-eight independent rock musicians who seek out such non-normative choices in a college town renowned for its music scene. He explores the rich life course trajectories of women and men to explore the extent to which pathways are structured to allow some, but not all, individuals to fashion careers in music worlds. Ramirez suggests a more nuanced understanding of factors that enable the pursuit of musical livelihoods well into adulthood.

I AM DESTINED FOR GREATNESS is the before and after story of one 'This is Your Life Change' competition semi-finalist.Lorraincia says: We are all destined for greatness. We were meant to live a life of abundance. Abundance in health, finances and relationships. It doesn't matter what challenges you are faced with or have experienced in the past, you are still destined for greatness.You may have been homeless all these years, a drug addict, have known what it is to be hungry and getting your food from dustbins. You may have been raped or sexually abused as a child. I have learnt that none of that matters because I am destined for greatness. My birthright is greatness and my past does not dictate my future. In this book, I share the story of where I come from. The challenges that I faced and how I was able to overcome their hold on me.I endured a lot, and I always thought that it was God's way of cursing me, but God made me realize that he will never give me a cross to bear, beyond what I can tolerate. I started to embrace my suffering because I know now that it's only teachings that will help me be a legend in the future. I was afraid to fight against adversity, too afraid to take a chance. I had been so afraid of failure, and of success, that I had set up self-imposed limitations to stop myself from achieving my dreams and goals. I also discovered that the antidote for fear is to take full responsibility for yourself, for the time that you take up and the space that you occupy. If you don't know what you are here to do, then just do some good. "All the adversity I have undergone in my life, all my troubles and obstacles have strengthened me. You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you" Walt Disney
