You should never wait for inspiration. Waiting for the muse to strike almost guarantees that it won’t. For me, inspiration usually arrives while I’m doing something.
This email started while I was listening to Albatross by Fleetwood Mac. I wondered where they found the inspiration to create such an iconic piece of music. In an era when rock was king, they produced this quiet instrumental. Amazing. But what we rarely appreciate is how many hours of playing and experimenting came before it. Music like that doesn’t appear from nowhere. It’s the result of thousands of small improvements. Practice stacked on practice. Learning from others until a style of your own appears. It’s the same in anything we do. Small steps stacked. 1% better each day. Regards, |
