A great motivator named Earl Nightingale came up with the this definition of success…
“Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.” I love that definition! What does this definition mean to you? Let’s take a closer look at the worthy ideal part of it…

Please spend a few minutes writing down what the words “worthy ideal” mean to you. I feel that it is my vision of perfection…a vision of how I would ideally like things to be.It is a vision that I fine very energizing & inspiring!

If you success with the guitar is completely dependant on working towards your goal, won’t it make sense that you need to first figure out what your goal is? How can you progressively realize something if you don’t know what it is? How about we do some exercises to figure your one out…

You must invest a couple hours a day doing the following exercises. They will seriously help you build a mental picture of what your goal is in your head…

Exercise 1:
Imagine how would ideally like to play.Try to imagine what your guitar will look like, sound like, and feel like.What guitar are you a master of? How does your improvising sound? Are you getting better at it? What is going on with your composing? You can write down your answers now.

Exercise 2:
Imagine your ideal guitar playing career. Would you be a expert guitar teacher? What about a wonderful perforing artist? Or another goal can be performing as part of a highly successful band? What do you think about being an in demand studio guitarist? What do you TRULY want to do? Please write down your answers now.

Exercise 3:
Jot down your ideas for a worthy career in guitar playing. Write it down in the present tense, as if you have already achieved it.Try to make it into a one paragraph statement.

Exercise 4:
If you will invest 5 minutes every morning & night that will help you to reach the goal you want to achieve. This will help you to stay motivated and focused on what you TRULY want.

Clarity is essential. If you don’t do it, you might not be able to start developing an effective career geared towards your goal.

You may find as you answer the questions that self-doubt starts to creep in. You may doubt whether or not what you write down is even possible! This is normal. Go on and write your answers down anyway. You don’t need to know right now how you will be able to achieve your goal. It’s easy, just figure out what it is.

You can improve your guitar skills. You only learn by doing.
