My Music Goals
There's a difference between knowing the Path, and walking the Path... (the Matrix)
In the next five months I want to learn music theory, the guitar fretboard and whatever else goes with that. This is called goal setting. I used to think it was a fluff phrase. I understand it now to mean, it is the things you do make stuff happen. You have to put in the work. You have to go beyond dreams and wishes.
Goal setting is not just about identifying what you want to achieve but also about giving yourself the means to ensure that you actually work towards these goals. It's about setting your sights on where you want to go and then taking the steps to get there. If you have noticed I have given myself a time that is realistic and actionable. I should be able to do it sooner since I am actively working this guitar thing. This is how it is done though. Setting clear, actionable goals can be the key to unlocking your potential and achieving success.
Goal setting is a powerful process that serves as a bridge between the present and your desired future. Goals give you a clear focus on what's important, helping you to direct your efforts and attention on the things that matter most. They act as a roadmap, guiding your path and decisions towards achieving something meaningful. Setting goals helps you visualize your future and understand what you want to achieve, making your aspirations more tangible. As you set and achieve goals, your self-confidence grows, empowering you to take on new challenges. Goals provide the motivation to push through obstacles and challenges, maintaining your momentum. They allow you to track your progress, giving you a sense of accomplishment as you meet each milestone. By knowing what you need to do, you can work more efficiently and productively. All of this improves the chances of success.
