We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Teahne Tapscott a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Teahne , thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?
My resilience is something that I have sat back and looked at and evaluated a lot, and what I can say its something we all battle every second. They say that the more we go through the stronger we become which in some ways is true but I’ve kinda shifted that idea and told myself that each day I wake up is a new day to “BE” however that goes. I take what I go through as like how you look at a video game so a new chapter/level starts when I wake up. So I take my past as playbacks of how I can do the level different to unlock new goals to keep going and unlock new levels which is a new day. At my age is still have a vast imagination and I take that fact that I still have day dreams and picture myself doing all kinds of things, more of what I can be so in tune its like it builds my resilience. The more I can see myself doing means I still have it in me to be and become, as its said if I see it then I can believe it and do my best to make it happen.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
For the longest I classified myself as an inspiring DJ, which is still something I work on but now its more just being in music in general. A music Enthusiast because I believe music is such a creative art form with a strong power/history that’s forever changing. I want to make it my mission to give people access to music from all ranges whether its a playlist, a mix blending cultures and stories together. Music is about telling stories bringing people together as we all are doing best to BE and as I like to say Chill which is the main core of my brand C.H.I.L.L (Choose How I Live Life). I’m in the process of rebranding everything to expand my DJ/Playlist platform and wanting to have a music blog for people to share their connections to music, bring artist together to showcase their work and give people more music to get them through and keep chilling.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
As far as my journey I would say three top qualities I use would be determination, Imagaination and faith. To ones that are just starting out I would say these are good bases to have. Everyone is different when it comes to their Journey/Story its import to stay true so self cause at the end of the day everything starts and ends with You. What drives you in your passion? what’s your overall goal ? to have your determination. Allow yourself to dream and have your visions these are your tools to have and build your creativity so in tune your imagination. Lastly as I said before everything starts and ends with you, its good to have support and guidance along the way but you have to believe that you can do all the things you see in yourself, that you have the power in you to make it happen so keep your faith in yourself strong.
Is there a particular challenge you are currently facing?
Current the main challenge I am facing is honestly myself. This world is forever changing so with everything that is happening out here it can take a toll on you whether positive or negative. I have taken a break to really evaluate a lot, I will keep saying everything starts with you in more so what you need instead of that you want. I say its a challenge but its also needed when you do want to create and put things out for people to see and have. In any thing you start your are your biggest judge and more to have that drive to work and just BE on the daily. It’s okay to take steps back as they say “clean house ” tweak things and revaluate, creativity is endless with vast possibilities that you can have and share with the world. The more clear you feel and see things the more you in tune create and be.
