Some believe that persistence is the key to every door we face in life. Others believe that's true, but knowing when to quit is more important. When in terms of love, wether it be a love for an actvity or a person, if we fail at that, how would we know when the right time is to quit? "You just know." I've heard, well, I believe that if a love is worth fighting for, then quitting may not phase your mind. But if your instincts are wrong, completely, utterly wrong, quitting may be best. So I ask, how would a person know when to quit at anything? At any time, really. Is it when doubt happens, that's the sign, or is it complete failure? On the opposite, is it doubt or complete failure that should instead drive us to be more persistant? I believe both are valid ideas. I simply wish I knew which one to believe in more. The way I see it, if I fail I should simply persist, but eventually I should realize that the reaction needed for success may not happen. Especially when repeated failure occurs. This is grim, but I think it's a valid thought. I question all the time when should I quit playng guitar, just because I love it doesn't make me a king. But maybe I should be hitting myself for having doubt. Either way if I keep feeling as thoudh I'll never advance, never be good, then maybe I should stop wasting away on a pipe dream. I'll die before I quit playing, but I think about quitting first. Love is the superior of all emotions. And I'm working towards achieving what it means to truly love. 1 Corinthians 13:3If I give all my possessions to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love I gain nothing. 1 Corinthinas 13:7 "It always protects always trust ALWYS PERSERVERS
On that note I feel I gained my answer; don't give up. I should simply continue enjoying my guitar, and know that she will be loved. And if this becomes love to the truest of meanings, my guitar will be an inStrument for success, and she will love me likewise.
In any case, i'm down for hearing any points/counterpoints about this.
