You create a goal & accomplish it..

This helps fight off depression, by instilling a feeling that there's still a long to go towards reaching a state of perfection.

Perfection can't be reached. This cycle will continue itself while you try to live up to this imaginary standard. I've been (and still am in some areas of my life) where you're at. Giving up the illusion of perfection has been a liberating and life altering experience.

We may have different ideas of perfection, though. Take it as you will

Nah I was just using it more so, as an analogy.

Now I'm just thankful everyday I wake up, disease and pain free...

Working out 3-4x a week, maintaining strength is a just a bonus.

While I may not have the build of Krack or Zyzz, I still get more than enough play and the ladies never complain...

The premise of this thread sums up the creative process I use when I set forth on every song I make

Every songwriter has their crowning achievement, that one song that they put on a pedestal as something that is unlikely to be surpassed any time soon. The work they're most proud of.

Today I recorded a song, I had high hopes for it as I began working on it. It came together and I just didn't like the direction it went. On top of that there's been a song that I haven't been able to top

It use to be like a weekly studio session and every week it was a safe bet that my newest song would be better than last weeks (with a few exceptions), for the most part I was consistent in topping myself every week but then I made this one song (which I haven't released yet) that I can't top, now it's not just about some dope lyrics . . it's about making a song, a song with replay value and a marketable concept
