It all starts with a little commitment.
Actually, I guess it starts before that. Before the first traces of commitment you have a completely wide open landscape, the whole world is at your fingertips, an infinite number of choices.
But it turns out we’re not very good at having the world at our fingertips. Boundary-less framework is pretty tough to build on.
So it takes a seed of commitment. Cause after that, the next part doesn’t have to come out of nowhere…it’s simply an extension of what’s already been committed to.
When you sit down to write a song, there’s too many options to stay in that limitless space for very long. So then you commit to starting with a C chord or to 105bpm or to a catchy phrase. Ok now we start building.
Commitment narrows the available choices and gives the endeavor an identity.
