It’s really amusing how people are constantly searching for the Holy Grail. That secret formula that, if followed step by step, will transform them into an extraordinary guitar player. What’s even more fascinating is that deep down, people know it doesn’t exist. Instead of admitting this, they continue the quest for the Holy Grail. I have some thoughts on why we do this, and I’d like to discuss them with you in this article.
I believe the main reason people still strive to find the secret formula, even though they know it doesn’t exist, is fear. WHOAA! WHAT?? Just hear me out for a moment…
As long as you’re seeking that secret sauce, it always seems to be somewhere outside your reach. You can’t do anything about it except keep searching. As long as you’re searching, you can justify your disappointment because you’re still on the hunt.
The problem arises when you actually find a formula. Now you’re no longer searching. It’s no longer out there somewhere. It’s within your grasp, and you have to take action. The real work begins now. And that’s where the fear creeps in. What if it doesn’t work? What if I try and fail? My friends and family might see me as a failure, and I’ll be disappointed in myself. Do you see where this is going? So, instead of simply taking action, it’s easier to keep searching and avoid the risk of it not working.
There are good methods and then there are great methods. Some will yield satisfactory results, while others will give you outstanding results. But stop searching for the Holy Grail. Just find a method and stick to it.
Let me inspire you with this. A flawed method followed consistently is better than the perfect method BLABLA.
