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

\u201cIf we wait for the moment when everything, absolutely everything is ready, we shall never begin.\u201d

Ivan Turgenev<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Thinking we\u2019re not ready: this is one of the most common stopping points in any new endeavor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have the time this study deserves\u2026\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t know all the details\u2026\u201d \u201cI need a different instrument\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

These may all be true, but that doesn\u2019t mean we should wait. The progress we make in the meantime is well worth living with the imperfect situation.<\/p>\n

It feels good to spend quality time on meaningful work. It feels good to discover new things and witness personal growth. And it feels great to show up and fulfill the promise we made to ourselves.<\/p>\n

We can recognize that everything is not quite perfect<\/a>, and jump in anyway. We can choose to accept the current reality and still take the next step.<\/p>\n

And later, if and when the situation becomes more favorable<\/a>, we\u2019ll enjoy our time even more.<\/p>\n

But for now, we can do what we can do with what we\u2019ve got, and let that be enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
