Has it really almost been an entire month since my last post?! Ridiculous. It certainly doesn’t seem like I have done a proportional amount of self-cultivating in that amount of time. Let’s review what I have and have not accomplished and figure out where I went wrong:

• Yoga – Well, this certainly didn’t fly. I’ve never been terribly self-motivated when it comes to physical fitness (that’s the part I had the trouble with anyways). I won’t give up on this yet, I’ve just been busy.
• Make Me A Song – Technically this didn’t happen either, but that’s by no fault of my doing. The good news is that I did make it into the show, but they just had to switch. Instead I am doing Larson’s Tick Tick Boom. So far going well.
• Cleaning and organizing – This was the easy part. I’m far too neat sometimes, so it almost wasn’t a chore, which seems a little unfair. Oh well, clean space, clear mind, right?

Okay, on to the real point, because review posts are irritating in themselves. I think the root of all my problems (and many problems in the world today) is the idea of inspiration. I admit that I lack commitment, but it takes a certain amount of natural interest to see a project through. That is, do what you love. If you are truly inspired to do something then the obstacles in your path mean almost nothing because you have a goal that you want to reach because it is your passion and will leave you fulfilled.

Inspiration is everywhere and can be found in almost anything; hence some of the most awesome achievements of humankind- from works of art to scientific breakthroughs. What I am missing is the ability to channel the infinite, universal potential that the world holds and turn it something creative.

My point! because I want to get to sleep; I need to start working and living in a way so that the things I love aren’t a chore anymore. I need to be able to create music without beating my head against the wall to do it. Let’s see if it happens.
