Things in life change so fast. There is definitely something to be learned about embracing the impermanent. Trying to imagine anything being permanent in my life on any level is just absurd. To cheekily quote a movie, "Everything that has a beginning has an end."
Coming back around after years of school, struggle, and so-called stability an awareness of the universe keeps me in check. I understand that in the realm of this grandiose universe that is vast and unending, life is precious. We have such little time spent in this life that it would be almost disrespectful to waste any of it.
There can be so much time in the day when time wasted on Facebook, Pinterest, or Youtube is restored. I often find myself with seemingly nothing to do when I actively keep myself away from any of those social media sites. After that time has been restored I have more than enough time to practice, hold extra rehearsals, and even update my blog.
Keeping and retaining focus for long periods of time is becoming harder and harder these days. Time to build toward greater things. Someone put the idea of being a "monster player" in my head. I believe its possible, will just take time to properly acquire the mental focus to take my playing to the next level.
