My main goal in life is to fulfill my purpose on earth and help to fulfill other people's purposes, too. I want to make a little positive contribution and make the part of my world a more peaceful and loving place. I love music and it's the principal channel through which I carry out the above goals. I'm professionally and thoroughly prepared in several music areas: composition, orchestral/choral conducting, performance (classical guitar and organ), college teaching, and church music.

In my website, www.RafaelScarfullery.com, you can watch my music videos, listen to my CD's and buy them, see samples of my compositions, buy scores for downloading, download free scores, read about my music career, read my thoughts and other people's quotes that help us to become better human beings, and much more. If you'd like, send me your feedback. I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks for visiting!

Learn and Help Learn
(Taken from the book "Mindsent" by Carol Dweck)


Every day presents you with ways to grow and to help the people you care about grow. How can you remember to look for these chances? Each morning, as you contemplate the day in front of you, try to ask yourself these questions:

What are the opportunities for learning and growth today? For myself? For the people around me? As you think of opportunities, form a plan, and ask:

When, where, and how will I embark on my plan? When, where, and how make the plan concrete. How asks you to think of all the ways to bring your plan to life and make it work.

As you encounter the inevitable obstacles and setbacks, form a new plan and ask yourself the question again: When, where, and how will I act on my new plan?

Regardless of how bad you may feel, do it! And when you succeed, don't forget to ask yourself: What do I have to do to maintain and continue the growth?

Aprende y Ayuda a Aprender
(Tómado del libro "Mindsent" de Carol Dweck)

Cada día nos presenta diferentes maneras para crecer y ayudar las personas que tú crees necesitan crecer. Cómo puedes buscar estas oportunidades? Cada mañana, mientras contemplas el día que comienza, hazte estas preguntas:

Cuáles son las oportunidades para aprender y crecer de hoy? Para mi mismo? Para las personas que me rodean? Mientras piensas cuales son las oportunidades, desarrolla un plan y pregúntate:

Cuándo, dónde, y cómo vas a comenzar tu plan? Cuándo, dónde, y cómo hacen que el plan sea concreto. Cómo te hace pensar sobre todas las maneras en las que puedes realizar el plan de tu vida y hacer que se cúmpla. Mientras encuentras obstáculos, desarrolla un nuevo plan y hazte la pregunta de nuevo:

Cuándo, dónde, y cómo vas a poner en práctica tu plan? No importa cuán mal te sientas, házlo! Y cuando tengas éxito, no olvides preguntarte:

Qué tengo que hacer para mantener y continuar creciendo?
