"Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still." (Chinese Proverb)
These days, everything is go, go, go - the heartbeat, the tempo, and the need to constantly keep up with this fast paced life is always increasing. It is easy to get influenced in mind and become a member of the 'instant results' club of always moving, always wanting everything now, but never getting anything done...
These same ideals carry into songwriting.
When constantly living on the go and the rush, it is difficult to really sit down and 'search out' what's in mind and in heart. By always staying busy and never allowing time to think, we stand still, we form fears of looking inward, and we form procrastination from fear of failure... this 'staying busy' creates the illusion of writer's block and darkens the soul from hope which then bleeds very heavily into songwriting.
When the urges to rush occur or the feelings of having too much to do overwhelm - Stop them, Stop the rush, Sit still, and write. Write off the anxiety with ease - Even slow your pen down. Take a deep breath, dream again, and capture the entire emotional event on paper.
The destination is to slow down and know that everything has its course, its time, and its place. Living the writing requires progress not perfection... -Ed Unger
