RE: The Art of the Struggle | Following Your Passion is Supposed to be a Challenge <3
You continue to flatter me my friend.
Lots of pain will either break us or make us excel - at least that's my current dogma until I find something better.
Still got that earworm by the way ;)
i use to dance with that pain to hell or high water. i was raised on it. but i have decided to try it in reverse. like Wonka says "we are the music makers and we are the dreamer of the dream" So now these days, i put my focus on ease, comedy, and confidence. So far I am realizing that it creates a better mental environment. It's also like what Floyd Mayweather will say while training, "hard work is what... hard work is what.... EASY WORK!" . I know this might sound a bit kook-city, but I mean very well!
One of the best ways to allow the pain of growing is reading and realizing how we are in a similar position. Something that we don't easily get a sense of in the plastic world of short-lived and propped up megastars and a shiny public persona.
Love the magic phrase you cited, it quite literally seems to be a spell to grow inner strength. Reminds me of the phrase that Alan Watts keeps citing:
"“I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.”"
So, I gotta go, build some basslines and pushing through the tough times once more ahaha. It's time for reaching the next level :) Thanks Brian!
thank you right back! Watts says things the best indeed! kill them bass lines!
