Keep Going

A big reason we give up on projects is the perfectionist belief that it all has to be right on day one. That’s nonsense: we just have to keep faith, work one day at a time – and we’ll get there.

Thank you very much for this very humbling lesson! Shakespeare says:

"Oft expectation fails, and most oft there
Where most it promises; and oft it hits
Where hope is coldest, and despair more fits."

Working without hope or despair, but with faith in a noble cause is the best we can do really. Gandhi also reminds us of this valuable insight:

 “It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your
action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.”

I laughed when he compared himself to the critter.
A little too familiar.

There is another important thing. While you keep working on your project (whatever it may be) for months and months, years and years, you have to remember to take a break now and then, take a step back and take a good and honest look at what you're doing. Sometimes our projects evolve into something we didn't really want to do in the first place and is no longer aligned with that vision we had at the start. If that's the case it's okay to give up and start fresh. Never finish because you feel like you have to. Forced success that doesn't holds no meaning is worse that "failure" sometimes ;)

ive been watching this everyday for a month now and it actually helped significantly. thank you :)

The problems lies in the pursuit of recognition, money and social status. Very few would pursue to be a great singer to not get paid millions of dollars or to not be recognized world wide. Any typical goal, commonly confused by "worthy goals", are tied with money and social status. There are many great artists and great people who thinks they haven't made it because they haven't made fame and money. We often forget that if you have food on the table, a roof over your head and a bed to sleep on, that you are a very lucky person. Continue to pursue what you want in life, but be aware of your expectations and the perspective you view your life.

That open chord at the end is neither major not minor and is thus ambiguous. I love it.

I felt that.
