Life comes in fits and bursts – you don’t know what yesterday’s success will lead to (if anything) and tomorrow’s failure might blast open an unexpected door.
The best thing to do is to keep going. It’s the only way to find out what’s going to happen.
If you feel like quitting today, consider this: 20 years ago I was dreaming of singing in Gold Company and seeing Kurt Elling live at the Bird of Paradise jazz club in Ann Arbor with my dad.
Tonight I sat with my dad and the amazing wife I met in Gold Company, and heard the current incarnation of the group sing a song I arranged, with guest soloist Kurt Elling.
Fits and bursts. Keep going.
