Tuesday Quotes <\/a>are short explorations of music, life, and the daily endeavor of practicing classical guitar. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

\u201cGratitude is the wine of the soul. Go on. Get drunk!\u201d
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Playing and practicing music can be like watching grass grow. We know things are happening, but we may not be able to notice it.<\/p>\n

And when we don\u2019t see improvement<\/a> often enough or quickly enough, we may well get discouraged. This is one of the obstacles we share as musicians.<\/p>\n

But in reality, most of us play guitar for fun. We play because we love music and feel it will help us lead a richer life.<\/p>\n

So instead of taking our challenges personally, we can accept them as part of the package. We can trust that things will come around in their own time. And more, we can sing praise for the chance to grow and learn something new.<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t mean that some days won\u2019t be hard – they will. But we control the narrative. We spin the story.<\/p>\n

When we focus on gratitude we stay motivated. We hold our bearings and make it through the rough patches (or don\u2019t see them as all that rough).<\/p>\n

And it feels good! Saturated in gratitude, guitar may be our favorite part of the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
