One of many things that I love about being a musician.

There’s always room for growth, improvement, maturity, execution, inspiration, and constantly setting yourself goals to strive towards reaching perfection.

Or to the closest that you can reach on that particular day.

It’s very humbling to the fact that in reality however good you are or think you are there is always someone that is better than you.

However I have found with getting older other than finding more and more white hairs lol is that there are levels in your performance and attitude.

First and foremost you have to be in the right mindset to allow anything to be possible.

You must be positive

But does being a musician really only stem from whether your good or bad?

Is that really honestly the final judgment?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!

Everyone is a different player

Different personality

Different techniques etc.

You grow as you learn and you learn as you grow.

What you don’t know today you may just know by tomorrow?

If you can’t drum like Buddy Rich does that make you suck?

Should you burn your drumsticks and never play again?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!

He is a at a more advanced level than perhaps you are

But keep this in mind Buddy Rich had to start somewhere to

So what is my point?

Where am I going with this?

The proper mindset

A dream

Hard work

Dedication

PRACTICE

ATTITUDE

Listen not only to the words but to the spaces in between the notes and phrases

Everything that is said also needs to be felt

There is room for everyone

Everyone deserves the chance to share their talent there Dream and their voice

It ain’t about being popular

Or wanting to be famous

Or for picking up chicks

It’s because you want it you feel it you crave it

You can’t stop thinking about

That’s when you know you are a musician

It’s about love not money

Never give up

No matter what

Opportunity is always around you

The question is
