Story: Observe, Understand, Accept
"Objective judgement... unselfish action... willing acceptance... that’s all you need.”–Marcus Aurelius
Marcus gives us three easy steps for a simple life: remain objective, act unselfishly and consistently with your core values, and willingly accept obstacles as part of life. It's easy to add complexity to our lives, and not as easy to keep it simple. By desiring acceptance, recognition, and special treatment we complicate our lives and relationships by focusing on things we can't control, instead of what we can control.
Observe, understand, and accept–words echoed in Zen philosophy–is a common theme from antiquity. Observation, understanding, and acceptance are all within our control. Yet we sometimes allow events and news from outside our immediate control affect our mood and happiness. The irony is that oftentimes, the greater distance that news travels, the more we can care about it. It is as if the less control we have, the more we invest in the outcome and the more we allow it to affect us.

How can we use Marcus’ advice and apply it to playing? Objective judgement can come in many forms. It can be an honest assessment of your ability, your practice routine, and your band or musical situation. Unselfish action can be understood as playing to the song, choosing artistic goals over financial, or conversely, choosing financial over artistic if you need to support your family with your playing. Willing acceptance can be not looking for peer recognition or monetary rewards but rather gratitude for the musical opportunities you have.
Not honestly accessing your playing can lead to stagnation and dissatisfaction with your performances; not playing to the song can lead to conflicts and playing just to satisfy your ego; not accepting your role in the band can lead to unhappiness. Sticking to Marcus' three steps and being mindful of what drives you can lead to better observation, clearer understanding, more focused action, and ultimately, willing acceptance. What guides you? Your desired end or your core values?
Bottom Line: Start from the right place.
