How To Be A Rock Star
Brand Yourself A Rock Star!
Chances are at one time or another you have been called a rock star. That moment felt extraordinary, didn't it?
It doesn't take much to acquire a rock star status. All that's required is to be yourself. How difficult is that?
At one time a rock star was, just a rock star. A musician who performed rock music. They are still rock stars, but now we could all be a rock star and not even know how to sing!
As a matter of fact even if we sing off key and the dog covers his ears, you could still brand yourself a rock star!
I've listed some qualifications to be able to perform like a rock star. Your performance doesn't have to be an Oscar winning moment. Take baby steps if you need to.
If you need some motivation I suggest you watch the Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney music video. I also recommend watching the movie Rock Star if you haven't seen it yet.
Once you get in the habit of rock star thinking and actions...the rest will come naturally. Always remember that someone considers YOU are a ROCK STAR!
A song that will motivate you!

Do you have Rock Star Status?
Feel like a Rock star! Come to the Crazy good time at Sunshine's Birthday Rockin Party.....Time: Now til we collapse!
You are the Rock Star Linda! lol! loved this! voted up and shared!
Great piece of writing and awesome list, thanks i have enjoyed reading this article .
I think I possibly have rock star status but had to review the list one more time. There re lots of things to think about on your list; some would be great around the Thanksgiving table. It was a good first read today...thank you!
Brilliant list, Linda! 'Instead of thinkIng 'what if', think 'so what'.......that's is a great line! Enjoyed it and passing it on......
I sure want to be a rock star Linda. As always a fun list with lovely tips for becoming one. Thanks. Inspiring hub. Cheers, Rema.
I have been listening to Led Zeppelin since couple of days and I now feel like a rock star.
Sunshine, your hubs install positive vibes.
Linda -
You are the rockstar! For simply putting this together if nothing else (which is far from the truth), you demand rockstar status. I cower in the shadows as you shine above the rest. Great list!
To be honest, Linda, I'm not sure I want to be a rock star. From what I read about these folks, they are not exactly happy people. Maybe I'm wrong. I always liked Kenny Rogers and I like that quote from his song: You gotta know when to hold 'em, and know when to fold 'em. There's a lot of truth in that.
I voted this UP, and will share.
Well, this is better than being the other kind of rcokstar- except for the money part! Fun list :).
The list is inspiring and serves as a reminder that little changes in attitude can make a tremendous difference in outlook, which will greatly enhance your life.
the optimism that erupts from this work is awesome
you really are a rockstar
You put a smile on my face today! You're a rock star!
Thanks for the tips, Sunshine! That confident, positive attitude is so very important. Just be yourself, and be respectful of others! You are a true hub/rock star!
You are truly a rock star, Sunshine! It shows in your writing and attitude. This is a great list of traits to be a rock star. Think how much better the world would be if everyone tried to live up to this list. I have voted this up and awesome! Have a wonderful day!
Linda (Sunshine),
Thanks for the reminders of what it takes to be a rock star. You truly are the List Diva.
I now have no excuse NOT to feel like a rock star! Many thanks Linda.
I'm back for a second read because... well... I wanna be a rock star! hehe :)
wow I don't know how I missed this two months ago.. but it is great..so glad Josh shared it... I love the video.. wish I could be a rock star.. LOl.. well then I don't know if I could stand it.. My head might too big.. lol
Debbie
Linda, I have to honestly say that I have never been called a rockstar, but when I do, I will certainly let you know! :P Great hub, and awesome song at the end! I loved the forgive your enemies, then forget them statement, I cracked up. LOL I think you and me should get together and collaborate a hub idea together, think it would be a blast. Just saying, great job Linda, you are such a ROCKSTAR! :) Voted up, and across the whole stinkin' board and sharing!
Excellent! I am a rock star. Only sometimes something gives me the shake...
This one goes straight to my library, sunshine!
Voted up and encouraging! Awesome!
Today, and most every day, I feel like a rock star. :) Great hub. VUMS! :)
Sorry I wanter to write aspirer not "Ausperious" which is no word. A frind of mine has just indicated that....
I remember reading this awhile back but never commented. For shame. I love your tip : "Be thankful." So many times rockstars are portrayed as too cool or too busy to first of all BE thankful but then SAY so. A true rockstar should always be thankful because nothing ever just happens and the "good stuff" that one should be thankful for wouldn't happen without rockstar fans. As I've grown up, I've learned to be thankful for the bad stuff too and being thankful overall just makes me feel like a better person-- a cooler person-- maybe even a rockstar.
Wonderful hub
Sunshine you are truly ausperious. And I must say that, just if you do not already know :) , that you are a goood psychological healer and mood changer. I started the hub thinking something else and came out at the end with another thing much better than I previously thought....
i truly loved this Hub
i must say i aspire to be a Rockstar now :)
This hub is just as good as it was the last time I read it Linda! It makes so much sense and every day will be fantastic if we follow this list! A good day starts with our attitude. Shared, voted and pin,
Tina
Another great one! Sharing this one this morning! Kelley
Fantastic list of qualities you have highlighted here. Great hub.
Linda,
This is an awesome compilation that suggest Rock Star status is indeed obtainable! That said...can I still lurk? I do enjoy lurking...almost as much as I, apparently, like to type it...
Thanks for this! Voting Up with all the accompanying niceties!
Thomas
Very interesting hub...I hope someday i would be a rockstar.!Great job Sunshine625.
If I slept in when I was young, my father would wake me up with, "Rise and shine, Rockstar". This was his way of letting me know he didn't approve of my rock star habits (i.e. sleeping in when there was work to be done). Funny how times have changed. Being a rockstar today means going out and getting what you want out of life, of making a mark in the world. And it means doing it by being outgoing and tenacious. It's very hard to make a mark in this modern world without making a little noise along the way. Voted up and awesome.
Excellent job here and good reminder. Can you imagine what the world would be if everyone wanted to be a Rock Star? My mom used to say that there are three stories to be considered. Her story, the other persons story and the truth :)
"I WANNA ROCK AND ROLL ALL NIGHT AND PARTY EVERY DAY..."
I think I can... I think I can... I am... I am...
Thank you, Sunshine, I AM a "Rock and Roll" Rock Star!
Voted UP & so very FAB. Love you, Sista Rocker! Maria
wow, Sunshine, those are some excellent tips in getting through life as a positive influence... I also enjoyed the music! Voted up
I love this! My favorite tip is "Be a leader. Not a follower." Rock stars are definitely unique and confident. I voted this up and awesome!
Hi Sunshine! I am on my way to becoming a rock star because of you! Thank you!
Awesome and inspiring as always, Linda! Your hubs put a smile on my face.
Great hub and an 'Up up and away' for this one.
Take care and enjoy your weekend.
Eddy.
Keep rockin' mama!! Great hub! any hub with Tim in it is great!
You rock, as always Linda! Loved this list and also Bono's quote. It's wonderful if one can do both - have fun and change the world. With a little nudge from this list, we can all start to change our own worlds in small ways every day!
I like your rock star qualities as thinking that way brings happiness and satisfaction in your life. Video was a great addition to your list. Up and awesome.
After reading this hub, I'm definitely on my way to a new career as a rock star. I just need to learn to play an instrument. I love the new song and video by Tim and Kenny. They are just awesome like your hub and beautiful like you Linda. Voted up! :)
I don't know that you need to be wanting to feel like a rock star to follow this advice. Much of this is applicable to anyone in any job. Voting this Up and Useful.
Rod Stewart's quote is so humorous. I love your list of rock star qualities. This is one hub that will have us rocking to the upbeat of the message. A great hub topic and so enjoyable!
A rock star, you say. If we are talking rocking chairs here, Linda, then I am definitely a rock star. Although some mornings I need help getting the rocking chair started.
Despite that feeble attempt at humor, I applaud your list which I always follow except for the forgive and forget one. That's impossible for those who are Scorpios.
ROCK ON, GF!!!!!! This whole rocking hub Rocks and all Hubbers are Rock Stars! That's it! We change the name to "Rockin-HubPages" In Rock-Ville USA.....where Rock Star Hubbers write Rockin Hubs.......
Linda Sue.....Seriously, I think I may have lost a few of my rocks......I need to rest now.
You are a rockstar and this hub is rocking to be precise... amazing tips and advice
thankyou
So happy we have that share button..I miss so much but so happy when I can catch up on the hubs I have missed..Sunshine this is so going on my frig to remind myself I can be a rock star..haha I think I still have rocking to do! I love this! Such positive thoughts to live by..You do ROCK my friend,
Sunnie
As always, you rock Linda and so does this list! I think I'll pick a handful to work on to start. Some I've got down but others will be a struggle. All are good ideas!
Okay list lady, can you make a to do list for me? Your lists are always right on and a pleasure to read! I believe you think outside the box and greatly share it in your writings. Voted up, useful and interesting.
Woa...Such beautiful words of wisdom that Linda I am on a ROLL ;)
Loved it and sharing it across!
These are great qualities for people to embrace! I want to surround myself with rock stars :)
Love this list Linda and I will start to take those babysteps now:) Imagine the difference it would make if we felt that we where a rockstar when arriving for work in the morning! I think I will aim for Lady Gaga, because no one can miss her entrances:)) I loved the music too!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Tina
Great hub and love the song at the end. You do a great job on these lists; quite the detailed mind you have my friend.
