Musicians are expert at commitment to their craft and artistry. I think it’s also okay to just try something…just for the experience. Even mediocrity can be part of a joyful life (witness my efforts at knitting). 🧶
It's so wonderful to do things because we love them and not because we are especially good at them! And your knitting is absolutely an example of how commitment to one thing can bring so much reward!
Thanks for this. I have been thinking a lot about this very idea. I have tried many hobbies and m ready to dial back and focus on the few that bring most joy. It helps to be reminded that the joy is in the process, not perfection.
It's so hard to let go of perfection! Or to accept that we won't get there quickly. But maybe when we turn our attention to only one thing, we will find a different kind of perfection!
