I kind of look at the people who are successful at music/sport/whatever and to me it comes easily because it’s almost as if everything conspired to make it happen that way. They were always destined to have that talent. Maybe the talent developed more because of a lack of other talents or opportunities? If I was going to be the next SRV it would have happened without me (over)trying to make it happen.

Everyone has a different path. Being on a stage and famous isn’t always a good yard stick of success. You could do more good by influencing people through a website or by helping someone cope with life by encouraging them to pick up their guitar again. Just some thoughts.

I’m sort of getting over the same thing. I used to be obsessed with mastering the guitar. Wanted to be “special.”
But over the last half year the desire has just been slowly fading away. Leaves one kind of empty.

I love it. I know that we probably all deal with stuff like this, but are unable to recognize it or verbalize it like you do. God just loves a humble heart. I remember hearing something at a seminar one time that struck me at the time. It is our responsibility to deepen our calling or gift or ministry, it is God’s responsibility to broaden it. (I’m not sure that’s exactly how he said it, but something like that.) You are going through the deepening process right now.
