All adults come to this cross roads of the mind at some point.
Read The Bhagavad Gita.
There is the Buddhist mind where all is acceptance, and then there is that ego thing. The thing that wants us to DO this, BE that, HAVE the other.
The Gita talks about Action. Acting in your Nature. If it is in your nature to make music, then do that. If you don’t feel like making music today, and like to meditate, do that.
There is also the idea of Dharma Yoga. You have something you want to Be, Do or Have. Fine. Release ALL attachments to the outcome, and just ACT. Don’t look at who’s a better musician, what you have to do to make it, or any of that. Just play the music.
There are articles, books and, of course, the Gita text that explains this way more eloquently.
See yourself swimming in a sea of Perfection, and have fun in this life!
