Like the HEPA filter sales lady told me; the whole game of life is played in the mind but if you think about it too much you can lose the game
My life is in a state of flux right now after switching from a career in standup comedy to that of a drummer in a band playing music. I have a newer band I am in but it is a bit tumultuous right now as I try to steady my guitar player’s mind and keep him in the game. Some artists get really caught up in their own sadness and seem to get bogged down by it to the point where they can barely function. I think it can stem from having lots of time on your hands, as heating and a/c work for the contractor keep my mind busy all day to where I don’t have time to think about whether I am happy or not. My bandmate has everything he needs to be happy; a place to live, food to eat, a lovely girlfriend, a dog, and a passion and talent for playing the guitar. He works for this new contractor doing gigs and makes money from local businesses when he plays outside of their locales. All of this yet he still feels sadness to the point that it is almost paralyzing to get out of bed. He told me this the other day, that he sometimes stays in bed because the fear paralyzes him into nonaction for the day. Like the HEPA filter sales lady told me; the whole game of life is played in the mind but if you think about it too much you can lose the game. I guess time will reveal the answer to us with this dilemma.
