The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
You never know what motivates you.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
You always have in the back of your mind that would be cool if you get recognized. But you can't concentrate on any of those things. You've got to just keep playing and doing your music and the rest is just a bonus.
