the thing is with me and many others is that we look to the outside for acceptance, success, reward, and its not easy not to especially when society stuffs things in us the other way around.....but this is not the way it should be...the focus should be on ourselfs first, our own individual success, accomplishment, if this is in line and true then we have conquered our own limitations , and by doing so chances are we win everything else. To win the "world" as some say , you have to win yourself, victory within whatever that may be, and im sure we all know our weaknesses+strengths, the rest is just icing on the cake...
just like mixing for instance..... "i need to buy that new compressor, or man if i had all that gear that that studio has i would make the killer mixes" , you know what ??? its partly true but where the real secret lies , is with in , mixing is the fine balance of thinking vs emotions vs desire vs temptations vs pleasure vs rewards vs innovative thinking vs etc...its not in the gear(again an outside influence), and this is what in part attracts people to your music....the "victory" and possibly the cleverness of it
sometimes when you fall flat on your face and cant get up , you have to simplify things to its raw elements , be black and white about it, military style, get angry , and think "victory" or "defeat", wake up the old primal instincts that survived millions of years like by watching a tyson fight(well atleast the ones hes won:), suit up in that shinning armor and rise like the sun . ....yeah baby...
