Don't know what I'd do without this type of feedback from you both. My inner judge and perfectionist is a tyrant. It says "If you're not awesome why bother?" "You'll never be as talented as ________ !" "No one will think you're any good". <BR/><BR/>My friend Paul (a very talented drummer) put a sign next to his drum kit. The sign reads "Enjoy"! <BR/><BR/>It may come down to accepting that you do things "badly" or it may be suspending one's expectation of the final outcome. My goal is as you wrote: to "transport me beyond myself."Country Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01282944218344493838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7048229334858323343.post-762698095954575652008-11-17T10:05:00.000-05:002008-11-17T10:05:00.000-05:00Thanks.

But it all really doesn't matter a long as you're loving it. I can totally relate as I approach life as a process. If you get some good results out of it, well, that's great. But that's a bonus. What's important is to enjoy the process, you know, the thing called living:) <BR/>Incidentally, I went to a classical music concert last Friday, for the first time in years and it was awesome!My friend's friend is a cello player and she seemed to be one of the happiest people I've met lately. <BR/>NikaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
