I think I’ve unintentionally stumbled into a pretty good habit.<\/p>\n

At first, I wasn’t going to write on weekends. But then I naturally started posting motivational things and figured this could be my way of not focusing on music and related topics (like I do during the week), and give you a glimpse of another side of me… someone who thrives off inspirational and motivational readings, quotes, and axioms.<\/p>\n

So that’s what I’m going to do. On weekends, I’ll post some of the things that have inspired me throughout the years. After all, they can very well apply to your musical growth as well as other areas in your life.<\/p>\n

So here’s something that’s on my wall right now. It’s simple too.<\/p>\n
