My dream is to be a performing multi instrumental musician,so far though I am just a musician that practices the many instruments I own in my basement. I am able to play them all but I am not a master at any of them, I have yet to find the one instrument that really calls to me to focus solely on it and then giving up on the others is hard to me and I divide my time between them all since practicing them is like exercise you wear out those muscles. Really I can start making music whenever, it just takes time something I am lacking and an audience and to get in front of an audience takes confidence in the skill.
I tell you this to show you that we all have dreams, but sometimes dreams have to be something you just do behind the scenes until you get to the point where you can stand on your own or you are given an opportunity. Maybe it takes meeting the right people or person. Maybe you need to expand your skills on your own on a solo hobby project, but giving up on a dream is worse than just slowly chipping away at it in a redefined way. Show off your solo work on websites people that follow their dreams rarely did it by chance and it rarely is an easy endeavor, if you Jon Acoff’s book start he has a lot to say on following dreams and living an above average life.
