I had a topic for this week's blog, but I decided to address a more immediate topic. Over the past couple weeks I've found myself getting into a negative state of mind as well as becoming more anxious due to many factors created by myself. This frustration creates a sense of urgency that may not exist, but is a driving force in limiting the creative process. It also effects my communications with those I care for and love.
I've considered if I've spread myself too thin, if I am reaching my potential, if I'm fulfilling my obligations as a husband and dad and as a teacher. However, these are reoccurring thoughts that I think most feel/consider.
Why bring this up? Because this is part of "The Journey as a musician", the ups and downs that play havoc on ones mind and soul. This is why I feel a desire to share, being that it is part of the everyday at least for me.
These past few weeks, and especially the last week, has been one of really defining the few things of the many to focus on. Working to understanding where I've been so far and where I'm going. Imagining what the next year will be like with another member added to our family and considering what this means for my career.
What I know is that I cannot stop. Of course there has been resistance, but who doesn't face that?
Let me briefly discuss what is coming for this blog. Over the coming weeks I will be discussing more of the tactile side and sharing some more personal insight to hopefully give you another perspective. What I hope is that I can help so certain mistakes aren't repeated. I want to bring to light certain topics that may not have been covered, especially if you went to college for a degree in music, and/or still are pursuing a degree.
Lastly, thanks for you support! If you find a certain topic useful, then feel free to share it with others.
