\u201cThe purpose of a habit is to remove that action from self-negotiation. You no longer expend energy deciding whether to do it. You just do it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>Kevin Kelly<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Kevin Kelly<\/a> is, among other things, a futurist. He looks at the current trends and predicts what the future will hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He looks at the systems in play. He looks at culture, at history, at cycles. Then he projects them out a decade or century and makes predictions. And he\u2019s been right more than most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos also thinks about the future. He was once asked about what would be different in the future. His reply was that he was more interested in what would be the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He puts his energy and resources today into the things that will be the same later. This allows Amazon to get stronger and more robust. The work it does today compounds into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our own lives, we can ponder what life will be like later. Our habits and routines, the\u00a0systems<\/a>\u00a0and cycles we ride – these will lead to predictable outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In regular guitar practice, how we use our focus will lead to an outcome later. As will the time we spend (or don\u2019t) on improving our technique and bodily use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do we challenge ourselves<\/a>? Or is practice always play<\/a> (gratifying and fun maybe, but toothless and stagnant)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do we have a routine for practice<\/a>? Loose or structured, is there a sequence of events? Are there thoughts that repeat<\/a> throughout? Are they useful and constructive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building great habits is important, but not urgent. Especially on guitar, where improvement<\/a> and growth is relatively slow anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead – months, years, decades – what can we predict based on our current habits? Is that what we want?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If not, nows the time to change. And if so, now\u2019s the time to release any doubt<\/a> and enjoy the journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
