Life, Values & Legacy: Our Chat with Amy Sems of Los Angeles

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Amy Sems. Check out our conversation below.

Hi Amy, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What’s more important to you—intelligence, energy, or integrity?
I would say integrity is the most important to me! Energy and intelligence are great, but I’d rather be remembered for doing what is right.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Yes, I’m a singer-songwriter with a focus on the sync space! I create singer-songwriter and folk style songs, and then I try to get them signed to music libraries and agencies who will hopefully place them in media usage.

Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What relationship most shaped how you see yourself?
I would say my relationship with God has shaped how I see myself the most. It’s really easy to think that what is most important is my success as a mother, wife, musician, employee, etc… but God has shown me that my value is being made in His image and that He loves me.

What did suffering teach you that success never could?
I think suffering has made me able to appreciate the times when things are going “smoothly.” I don’t think I would be as grateful for those times if I hadn’t suffered. Suffering has also taught me patience and perseverance and helped me to get my focus on what is truly important. Suffering simplifies what really matters.

I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What’s a belief you used to hold tightly but now think was naive or wrong?
I think I’ve tended to believe that it’s important to make sure other people feel okay and comfortable all the time, but I’m learning that just as we talked about in the previous question, sometimes unpleasant experiences have a good purpose. I would never intentionally hurt someone else, but sometimes I may not be able to or should solve someone else’s problem because they may be growing and learning through that process.

Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. If you laid down your name, role, and possessions—what would remain?
My faith in Jesus!
