OBSTACLE OR OPPORTUNITY

I told Kristen, my piano teacher, that I was running into an obstacle playing a passage from Moonlight Sonata.

It’s a stretch.

Here’s Kristen:

“If you think it’s an obstacle, it’s an obstacle. If you think it’s an opportunity, it’s an opportunity.”

That really hit me.

When you view obstacles as opportunities, your mind shifts.

You have fun figuring out the problem.
You experiment.
You slow down.
You’re more patient.
You’re kind to yourself.
You make progress.

I need to work on taming my mind.

Do you?
