 Re: Should I Quit?

Once upon a time, long long ago, people played and sang for enjoyment instead of to compete with others or to make a living at it.

If you're so stuck on competing and making money from your playing that you're making yourself miserable because of your "shortcomings," by all means quit. Life is too short to waste it in agony.

However, if you can enjoy playing without insisting that you play flawlessly (or even well), and you can get something out of playing without needing to compare yourself to others and without needing other people's endorsement, then keep on playing!

Good luck with your struggle.

B.
