Those of you who succeed in reaching your musical goals will have one thing in common. It doesn’t matter what style you play, what your ultimate goal is, how “naturally talented” you are or how hard you work.
Lots of people work hard and don’t reach their goals.
Lots of people have “natural talent” and let it go to waste.
You will succeed because you work and fight through the times when it feels like progress is slow or even nonexistent (Yes, that happens. It’s normal. Don’t freak out).
You will succeed because you don’t give up, no matter what difficulty you come across.
You will succeed because you tell yourself that you will succeed, because you have a long term goal, and because you keep yourself focused on that goal.
The one thing you all will have in common is that you didn’t give up on yourself.
Don’t ever give up.
