Finally,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he got quite angry and said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "Well of course you can't right now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], what do you expect? It is a brand new piece of music,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but that doesn't matter. What matters is that you CAN learn this. So stop whining and start learning."
My trombone teacher was a bold,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], courageous man who had escaped the dictatorship of Romania to play the trombone with the symphony orchestra. He had high expectations of his students... and I had a lot of self doubt.
Every time he put a new piece on the music stand and asked me to play it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I began by saying,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "I can't play this...."
The way we look at things really does shape our experience of the world around us.
When I was in my early teens,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I had a dream: to play the slide trombone. It didn't matter that my arms weren't yet long enough to play the deepest note... I just loved the deep resonating sound of it and the feel of that wonderful instrument in my hands.
Success When I shifted my perspective from "I can't" to "I can learn" - with the trombone,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with my classes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with anything new in life - things got a lot easier. I was able to learn the musical pieces much faster,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and with more joy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and even the most dreaded classes at school became a bit less daunting.
How to Shift Your Perspective:
I was frightened by his anger,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but his words sunk in. By saying and thinking "I can't do this," I was stopping myself from learning the instrument I loved so much. I had to ask myself,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "Where else in my life am I holding myself back?"
What belief's are shaping your world? What perspective is no longer serving you anymore? What alternative perspectives might open up new horizons for you?
1. Choose an area of your life that you feel stuck in. Explore the perspective you are currently holding and get a sense of how that perspective is making you feel.
2. Imagine some other ways to look at this situation. Explore as many perspectives as you can think of.
3. From all the perspectives you can imagine,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], choose the one that seems most joyful and meaningful to you.
4. Identify an action that you want to take with your new outlook.
