Anastasia Chudomekhova - Pursuing the Dream of Being an International Professional Violinist from Russia
In this episode, I talk with Anastasia Chudomekhova who is a Russian violinist born in Yalta, Crimea and has started playing violin at the age of 7. She has studied at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels and is pursuing her dream of playing professionally as a violinist. She talks about how difficult it was growing up without money at a young age and how she was very focused on making money so that her family can no longer live in poverty. She has found her passion through playing violin and at a very young age she got recognition as she started working with awesome soundmakers from Russia and brands like Sony. She also played for the president of Czech Republic, Italian and Russian ministers as well as others. An important thing that she talks about is creating a vision board and focusing on the five main areas that matter such as love, relationships, family, career, and personal development. She recommends creating a vision board and focusing your positive energy towards that vision just like how Walt Disney imagined a place where kids can play, have fun, and enjoy time with their families. What is your vision and what are you willing to sacrifice to see that happen? For Anastasia, it was the dream of being a professional violinist and is now playing in front of royal families. For you, there might be a vision inside that you cannot get rid of no matter how long you try to run away from it, and I encourage you to start building a vision board so that your dreams can become a reality. Obviously you will need to make money too in the process, but really start thinking about what you want to do for the rest of your life because that is what most of your life will consist of and if you do it just for a paycheck, then you are not really living your life to the fullest potential nor are you living a truly satisfied life. Be the creator of your destiny and like Jim Carrey says in this video “So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality.” I pray and hope that you choose a life based on love not fear and that you leave your legacy and your mark on this Earth so that you and your accomplishments will be remembered on this Earth even after you are gone. Please subscribe, share, and let me and Anastasia know what your thoughts are from this interview; we check all our DM's and also she is in need of a DJ so if you can help her with that send her a message! Hope you were encouraged and blessed by this episode and if you were, please leave a review and if you ever have any questions or want to talk to me directly just DM me at @ray.ahn and I'll respond (don't be shy). Would love to support what you're doing and help you on your journey to achieving your goals and vision in life. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/socialray/support
