I saw this quote recently and it sparked something in me. I'm not sure how I feel about it. On one hand I can totally relate. It's pretty much how I learned to play. I worked on the tiny bits and pieces that I had learned without much regard to structure or any future goals. I practiced/played in the moment. I did the things I could do. I did the things I enjoyed. By doing that I found myself practicing more, but I never considered it practice.
Let's face it; practice isn't fun. Oh, it could be, maybe, but really? Nope, I'd rather just do fun things. Playing the banjo is fun! I want to do that - a lot. Learning is fun.
On the other hand part of me wants to be all responsible and grown up and tell myself that I need goals. I need something to strive for. I feel some need to have a measurable experience.
Pfffft.... whatever. I think I've done pretty well flying by the seat of my pants. I'm doing something I enjoy; I'm learning.
Hi, I'm Jim, and I'm an unaimed arrow. I'm happy now - not when I reach a goal!
