Maybe body language would have sold it better, but honestly it'd probably take a more long winded conversation in person to actually explain my reasoning. Oddly enough a lot of my views stemmed from philosophy debates with my college professors. Not that that qualifies them as anything more valid, but they're not based in ignorance.
Word up, i'd hope it wasn't based on ignorance lol.
This makes perfect sense to me, and I really don´t get why more people are motivated this way. You have made a choice for yourself. Everyday you work a lot(or a little) towards your goal. That means that you´re on your way. Looking at my friends I see the opposite all the time. They are set in their ways, not wanting to evolve(damn Pokemons), or improve, as they are "comfortable" where they are. Except they´re not. They´re actually miserable inside ´cause they´re done. Chosing to be set, and safe, is by all means fine. But, the most common thing that therapists encounter these days, are people who are depressed because they never went after what they really wanted. Even though there are a lot of people making music, the number of who would really go for it is relatively low. Anyone who has made a real decision as to what they want, has a major advantage over everyone that has not. So attila´s approach here is accurate to me.
I think that's a product of concepts that haven't been explored or taught. It's easy to get distracted in this materialist world. Eventually you just gotta decide when you've had enough man, and stop chasing the dragon that other people have set for you.
Stubborness can also be a byproduct of that materialism too, but more than likely it's a natural disposition or the lack of access to people to help you look at things objectively.
To be quite honest, the more i continue to live my life and progress through engineering school, the less i want to actually be a professional musician. It's a pain in the ass man. But every thing in life has a hustle, it just depends on where you want to allocate your resources and to what extent.
Back to that last point, people don't even seem to know themselves well enough to get that far into their decisions.
I always speak more to personal philosophy behind the way of the chosen art, rather than how to get a siqqq skrilslslskdjb;zkjd sound. It's the individual that will eventually learn to make the sound they create, but they first need to know themselves enough to a point to continue their personal growth in order to continue to grow as an artist.
A certain piece of the human spirit seems to have been loss with the progression of technology and increased understanding of data and it's utilization. Emotions and behavior are easily quantified and qualified. "the regular" people need to regain a sense of themselves to prevent a complete take over, getting into lizard man talks but it's still true.
