Alrighty, I back with my new song for the 30 song challenge, and this one is a tough one.....
A song that you like from the 70s:
I had a hard time with this one because I love the genre of Classic Rock so much. After my old school rap phase that I shared in my last blog, I turned 12, discovered The Beatles and oldies rock, that eventually led to Classic Rock fairly quick. I think that most people that are doing this challenge have this song as their choice, so it's not anything too different, but what a freaking awesome song!
Okay, now for a quote I read today.
"Only compare yourself to you!"
This is a quote that stood out to me. I have a problem when I get into something, and then find someone better than me, or someone in a situation that I want to be in, and it leaves me wanting and wishing. However, this quote stood out to me because all I can be is myself, and I can only do things to a certain level, but the truth is, we should never settle for anything. I wish I was better at playing my guitar for example. When I see someone else playing, I get kind of jealous really fast because I want to be able to play at their level.
Instead of wishing I could play better, I should actually do something about it and practice. On the other hand, I might be talented at something else that the other person isn't. I might not be able to play face melting guitar solos, but I have two Utah Winter Games medals for Curling. Also, having limits can make us creative. I touched on this in my last post. I might not be able to play that solo, but I can write and play my own stuff, whether it's amazing, or something that just makes me feel good for accomplishing and sharing with friends and loved ones.
I've taken today and have tried to look at what I do that I love, and then think of ways to either improve, or be happy with what capabilities I have. Having time is one thing we all have during this pandemic and quarantine, and it's a great time to dust off that guitar, or do something to practice and improve what talents you already have, but wish were better.
For me, I've never kept a blog up this long. I've had time to do a few things that I love because I simply have enough time to do it. When this period of our lives are over, we will go back to work and back to doing things we used to, but I myself and going to try and keep up to improve myself with whatever I do.
It's better to look inward than outward, and find ways to improve yourself instead of wishing you were as talented as someone else! And with that said, I'm ready to finish my post, and I'm going to stop right......nnnnnnnnnnnow!!!!!!!
