I really just wanted to focus on the one nugget concept, that you have to have both, desire and discipline to achieve anything worthwhile. It was pulled from and referenced to the 2 posts listed, which are of course much longer. Watching other people's blogs like Seth Godin (extremely short) and Mark Schaeffer (much more detail) I have decided that I like both. And as I am sure you know, most people only read the first paragraph or two, if you are lucky. For me Desire is EASY - I have a lot of that. Discipline is what I have by far the MOST trouble with - what about you? Many thanks for being Stan, you're great at it. Your friendship here means a great deal to me. Hope its a good day in your world... All the best, Trace Thanks Stan…. you’re right it was a shorter post than normal.

Thanks. So true. I don't have much else to say because I thought I was going to scroll down here and find more. :( I'd enjoy knowing more about your desire around any of your various pursuits. And discipline techniques or personal reflections on the joys and difficulties of it always intrigue me. Don't get me wrong, I like the post. It just leaves me wanting more ... more than usual. Playful blessings, Stan (aka @muz4now) Hey, Trace!

'preciate cha. Glad you enjoy the tune... we had a blast and yes that is what really matters, because as as T-Bone Walker said "Have fun while you can 'cause fate's an awful thing..." I really appreciate your interest in the music and friendship online... and hey how about that compilation thing? I am thinking our song Turning Blue could work for your idea...

Most people, not just family, glaze over when our natural enthusiasm for music leaks into conversation....whether we create or consume. Always felt most people can't get beyond "what is it?" If a piece of music...painting...whatever doesn't fall into a easily identifiable box, it gets dismissed. Frankly, most people don't care...and you can't convert them. Think about their world...and you'll probably hear them listening to the same ol' stuff they did 30 years ago. Radio station program directors know something about human nature...people like what they know....and seek out safe things which blend into the background...continuity in a crazy, constantly changing world. And for most, "Elvis Es Mi Gato", isn't part of that continuity (great frickin' tune). With that being said...you keep working...and if at the end of the day...you reach one person...and put a smile on their face...a swing in their step...or your words on their lips...consider yourself a success. Wash - rinse - repeat. Dead on, Tracy.

If you want a skill, and it means a lot to you, you have to take the time to develop it, nurture it, and stick with it when you make mistakes. So many people could be so much better at things if they give themselves enough time to learn them. Great post. I tell my son this every day.

If you want to do anything in this world, you have to apply yourself, that means make the effort to DO it! It is sad, but also true, that way too many people talk of what they would like to be or do, but few really get down to it and do it! Thanks for sharing this inspired post! I hope it will be the catalyst for a good many people! Excellent post and point! If you want to do anything in this world, you have to apply yourself, that means make the effort to DO it!
