Warning: This article could help you break on through in your musical life.I was eating some Miso soup the other day, and my meal came with an appropos fortune cookie with a message that I would like to share with all of you. (please don't put "in bed" after it!)
It said:
"A truly creative person rids him or herself of all self-imposed limitations."So, if you start any sentence with
"SHOULD, WOULD, COULD or IF", stop right there, focus yourself and say
"that's in the past, what can I do right now!" ....
IF I only have singed up for the seminar, ... I
SHOULD have gotten a StepAbout (tm) and would be a better player....
WOULD i only have this plug-in, I could write the greatest song ever.......
All in the past.
If you can do something about it now, do something. if you can't, then let it go.
If you can control something you are worried about, then control it. take charge. if you are worried about something you CAN'T control, then it is out of your reach, and forget about it. Don't waste one more second of thought or negative energy over it. You'll be better off in the long run.
So, think about what is holding you back, put it in one of 2 bins -the Control bin, and do something about it , or -the Worry Bin, and hit Empty Secure Trash!
hope this helps,
