🌿 Reflection 002 — The Meaning Is Mine
Here’s something I’ve been reflecting on this morning.
Imagine two musicians receive exactly the same feedback.
“Let’s play that section one more time.”
One feels encouraged.
The other feels crushed.
The feedback was identical.
So what changed?
The meaning.
It’s easy to think our suffering comes from teachers, audiences, comments or mistakes.
But perhaps much of it comes from the stories we quietly tell ourselves afterwards.
Music has taught me that feedback isn’t failure.
It’s simply information.
🌿 Reflection Questions
🎵 Can you remember a time when you realised you had misunderstood someone’s feedback?
🎵 Has a teacher ever said something that felt painful at first but later became one of the most valuable lessons you received?
🎵 What story do you most often tell yourself after making a mistake?
I’d love to hear your thoughts below.
