If your main goal is to make your problems go away, you need a better goal.
You need a goal where you are willing to step into each problem as it comes, work at it, solve it, move past it, only to get up for the next one.
We don’t get to choose whether or not we have problems…we get to choose which KIND of problems we spend our days and weeks and years tinkering with, exploring and maybe even solving.
Complaining is for people who believe they eventually deserve easy.
Exhausted at the end of the day is for people who believe it’s an honor to wake up each morning and push further, regardless of the difficulty.
If you’re complaining about the music business, get out of it. It doesn’t need you…and you don’t need it. Go find something else…something you’re excited to work on despite it being difficult, unfair, time sucking, exhausting, thankless and risky (because everything worth doing is ALL of those things).
If you’re gonna decide to hang around, then expand your vision longer, wider, deeper. Let the problems and the growing size of the problems be a indicator your’e heading in exactly the right direction.
Don’t wish them away. Smirk and runs towards them.
