Oh, yes.

“Do the thing and you will have the power. But they that do not the thing, had not the power.”

Joey Baron's words of wisdom

“You have to listen. You can't do anything that you really don't hear. You can get it out of a book or someone can show you something, but if you're not really hearing it inside you're not going to be able to put much belief in it. I mean I know all about all kinds of things and techniques and tricky things but I just don't hear it so I don't waste time trying to force myself to play stuff that I don't hear. I don't fancy myself as being a technical player although a lot of people say: your chops are this and that and how do you do this so fast...it's like I'm not even relating to music that way.”

I realize #45

To listen is not merely to hear.
To see is not merely to look.

I realize #44

Growth, improvement and change is the natural order of things. Happiness is the result of challenging ourselves.

I realize #43

The best control is when we are least aware of it. When attention is focused not on control, but on letting go and naturally responding to whatever happens.
