Perfection robs us. When we fear something won’t be perfect, we stand still…action-less. We’ve been robbed of something when we can’t move towards something we’re supposed to hold.
Perfectionism removes beauty and replaces it with self-fulfilling stipulations that rarely, if ever, are met. Thought: there’s never been a flower that hasn’t known what it’s like to push through dirt.
The best love stories are the imperfect ones and true art allows what you’ve seen to have a voice and accepts that some may consider it to be noise (imperfect) even though you’ve portrayed it as music in the expression.
There is a level above what’s perfect.
And that’s you and your work with soul.
The music is the experience that is enjoyed and the story that is written when one’s passions, ideals, conscience, and core values intersect, collide, and crescendo in this world we exist in.
Running in circles of noise, often missing the point, it never hurts to get back to, define, and remember the point of it all.
The point is your music and your music is the point: our gift to receive and the fulfillment of your days.
“But tomorrow and plans for tomorrow can have no significance at all unless you are in full contact with the reality of the present, since it is in the present and only in the present that you live. There is no other reality than the present reality, so that, even if one were to live for endless ages, to live for the future would be to miss the point everlastingly.” Alan W. Watts
This moment is the point.
This hour holds the point.
And the next hour will hold its own point.
Moment to moment, connection to connection, conversation to conversation, hand to hand, and soul to soul….to be IN and to be ONE with our moments is the point.
All of your experiences thus far point directly to this reality: You were meant and created to make your music right now.
There’s a billion points the world will convince to bet the farm on, but there’s truly only one to go all in on: your music.
Let it play.
