Afternoon Bike Rides are always a rewarding experience for me. It's also the only time during the day where I can literally vent and deal with my issues. Issues can range from Work Stress or Personality issues... and sometimes... its a great time to think about what's next.
In the beginning of today's ride, I was thinking about Music & College... and trying to figure out what direction I should move towards both of them. Then as I was coming up on the first hill of my bike ride, it hit me... deal with the Hardest aspects first... then move downward and so on. So with Music I'm going to start with Music Reading, then move onto Sight Reading.. and then after I've pushed myself through all of that... I'll move onto playing gigs again. I feel, I need to be more realistic how my approach. I don't want to go back into music as inexperienced, I want to go into it with the knowledge that is necessary to succeed.
The same goes with going back to school, I need to familiarize myself with the entire Psychology Program, and pick the direct route so that I don't spend months and years dealing with uncertainty.
Both routes require a degree of dedication and focus. But that is the same focus when I'm doing cycling during the week. I think about what my goal is... and I dig in for the long haul.
And whenever things get hard... and I need to dig in and push myself harder... I'll just keep saying... "There is no tomorrow, There is no tomorrow!"
