Hmmm, what to write about this week…..
How about failure?
I fail. A lot. Probably altogether too often. Most people will say that we learn from our mistakes, and we pick ourselves up off the floor and try again. I don’t. I will usually just continue my failure, and I am within one of those continuations now.
So how am I to get out of my current slump? How am I supposed to pick myself up off the floor? Two words.
Ein Heldenleben.
Ein Heldenleben is a piece written by Richard Strauss that musically lays out the story of a hero, his love, and his trials. The opening to Ein Heldenleben is one of the most beautiful and inspiring things that you will ever hear (not to mention a bitch to play on the horn.)
It is through this piece of music that I am going to lift myself out of this slump. I am going to be the hero of my own life, instead of looking up to others. I am going to be so outstanding to myself that I am going to write a tone poem about me (well, that may be going a bit far, but I can dream.)
Ein Heldenleben, look it up. It will change your life.
