Eighty-eight days left in the year. Eighty-eight keys on a piano, representing the tyranny of choices life can be. We make the biggest musical (and life) statements not by the sheer number of notes used, but hitting the “right” notes. Looking at the keys of a piano (or the frets of a guitar), with ALL the notes laid out is intimidating. Focus on the task at hand, shrink the choices. Twelve days down, one day at a time. Shoot for the goals, focus on the effort. If you hit the goal, fine, if not, whatever effort you put toward it still counts.
