As someone who still has a guitar and bass in the attic (never mastered but student days' hangovers that I just can't get rid of), and who constantly feels they should be doing 'something else' with their life, this piece from Lateral Action struck a chord...
When I was young, I wanted to be a rock star.
Not a pseudo-celebrity social media rock star.
A real rock star.
I didn’t become a rock star because I didn’t try.
I told myself I couldn’t do it, or maybe I was simply afraid to fail.
Knowing what I know now, I know I could have done it.
Knowing what I know now, I know I can do anything I truly want to do.
Not that it’ll be easy… just that it’s doable.
Listen.
Skip directly to what you truly want to do.
Don’t substitute.
Don’t settle.
Do.
(So maybe I just need to bite the bullet and 'do'!)
