1,000 Days of Piano - Day 84: Fickle

Today I am fickle. I want to focus on something besides piano practice. The dailiness has finally set in, and I’m ready to move to another project. I’m tired of practicing the Beethoven Sonatina. I want to learn another piece. I want to learn another instrument or another language or take up Chinese brush painting.

Yet, I don’t give in to the impulse. I put it off until the last moment, but I finally sat down to practice and record. Somehow, I ended up playing a Beethoven piece. It doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is that I practice and record. Inspiration comes and inspiration goes. The most important thing I can do is show up.
