“Do not discourage yourself with what you haven’t done, encourage yourself with what you will do.”<\/p>\n

Neale Donald Walsch<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All these lovely places, ripe with adventure and new experiences!<\/p>\n

Like in Dr. Seuss\u2019 \u201cOh, the Places You\u2019ll Go!<\/a>\u201d, we get worlds upon worlds – whatever we want. It\u2019s all there for the taking.<\/p>\n

But life often intervenes. While the Lake Regions of Argentina or the fjords of Norway await, other things may demand our time.<\/p>\n

And when we focus on what we haven\u2019t done, as N. D. Walsch says, we run the risk of becoming jaded or discouraged.<\/p>\n

And the same holds true in our guitar practice. All these wonderful tunes to play, but at just X minutes per day, it can seem impossible.<\/p>\n

Instead of dwelling on what\u2019s not happened yet, it\u2019s much more fun to look ahead<\/a> with anticipation.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s plenty of time. It\u2019s no race. The sheet music<\/a> will still be there when we\u2019re ready (as will Mt. Fuji and the Galapagos).<\/p>\n

In the moments of our daily practice (however many there may be), we can enjoy our current \u201clocation\u201d.<\/p>\n

What a luxury! What a boon to take the time and put all our attention on one moment of music, or one movement of the hand! What a gift!<\/p>\n

They say that \u201csatisfaction is the death of desire\u201d. And desire is fun. Anticipation before a journey is often just as rewarding as the journey itself.<\/p>\n

All that music down the road – \u201cOh, the places we\u2019ll go!\u201d<\/p>\n

When we look to the future with excitement and relish today, we\u2019re much more likely to get there.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cDo not discourage yourself with what you haven\u2019t done, encourage yourself with what you will do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neale Donald Walsch<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
