Recommitment

The piano has been a central part of my life for over 20 years now, and lately, the piano and I have become like a stereotypical old-married couple.  I practice, but not as often as I should, and then only halfheartedly.  My playing has become stale.   I've even considered not pursuing this field anymore.  

Yesterday, I had what I'll call a crisis of piano-faith.   My doubts consumed me and I thought maybe I should just go a different direction, get a non-piano-related job, or something.

So after much thought ("soul-searching" may sound cheesy, but it's accurate), today I made the decision to pursue music wholeheartedly again.  It takes self-motivation and diligence as well as an intense perseverance on a daily basis.  So, here begins my revived attempt at loving what I do and working hard to contribute and achieve as much as I can with the piano.
