Lindsey Stirling on The Power of Perseverance - with Lewis Howes

Faith & Values

Lindsey Stirling's faith plays a pivotal role in her life and career, shaping her values and decisions. She attributes her abstinence from drugs and alcohol to her upbringing and education at BYU, which instilled strong principles that she continues to uphold on tour. Lindsey believes these values create a healthy environment, free from drama, and protect her from the pitfalls of the music industry 1. Her commitment to her beliefs extends beyond personal choices, as she actively supports causes like ending human trafficking, demonstrating her dedication to making a positive impact in the world 2.

There's so many problems in this world. Recently, I've really become attached to this organization called the Underground Railroad, and they deal with human trafficking. And my eyes have been open to this terrible problem. So I would obliterate human trafficking.

Passion & Dreams

Lindsey Stirling emphasizes the importance of pursuing one's passions and dreams, a lesson she learned from her father. Her father's bedtime stories, filled with adventures and dreams, inspired Lindsey to chase her own dreams, even if they don't always lead to the expected outcome 3. She believes that happiness requires effort but is attainable for everyone, a philosophy that drives her creative endeavors and personal growth 4. Lindsey's unique blend of classical violin with electronic music showcases her commitment to making art that resonates with people, transforming traditional music into something vibrant and engaging 5.

From my dad, I learned that you will be better off by chasing your dreams. And did my dad get his movies made? No, he didn't. But he had the most amazing stories from his adventures as he tried.
