No Fear!

God is always with you.

"Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."
Isaiah 41:10

"Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
Matthew 28:20

Keep Moving Forward!

Never stop. 

When you feel weak, 

never lose hope. 

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight."
Proverbs 3:5-6

Remember, failure is not an option.
"You can't lose if you don't give up."


By the way,

Psalms 118 and 119 are encouraging and peaceful if you'd like to read them. 

God bless you and give you strength!

Heart

It's time to finally put more heart into it. 

You can do this.

Afraid of Failure and Piano Recitals

If you're working on something, let's say a piano piece for your upcoming recital, and you are so worried and fearful that you think you should just stop all together,

you're doing it wrong. 

Why worry about failure when you haven't even "failed" at it yet?

Yeah, so maybe in the past you haven't done perfectly, but who's perfect?

Nobody. 

Anyways, 

chances are if you try and practice over and over again, not giving up, 

you're probably not going to fail at whatever you are striving for.

If you have a problem with stage fright (like I do), think about this statement that my teacher told me in the past:

It is not to impress, but to express. 

The whole point, especially in music, shouldn't be about you and how you look in front of others, but about how you express the music and the story it's telling.

So if you just focus on that,

you'll be fine!


Now I just have to go and listen to my own advice...

Wish me luck!

But seriously.

Getting To Know You

I used to be super shy in general, but thankfully I've gotten better with all that. 

Especially when meeting new people. 

But what I find so awesome is some people that can connect with practically anybody with no sweat.

My friend's like that. 

So I asked him how he does it. 

He said that all you have to do is act that the person you're talking to is your best friend.

That's great.

I mean, 

wouldn't that make things so much easier?

Piece of cake.
