I am impatient and want an immediate payoff from my actions

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result doesn’t make you crazy, it makes you an artist. You’re somebody who is not afraid to show up at the same place, every day, do the work, and play the long term statistical averages of the creative process. It’s not insanity, it’s trusting that statistically, the greater the number of attempts you make at doing things, the more likely an anomalous result will eventually occur. It’s only a matter of time. Now, that might sound crazy to some, but that’s only because our impatient, attention deficit disorder, immediate feedback, instant gratification culture has conditioned us out of one of life's most valuable habits. Sitting down by yourself and practicing something over and over again. Not three or five or fifty times, but hundreds of times. Thousands of times. Nobody does that anymore. Because nobody needs to. Everyone wants to be a rockstar, but nobody wants to master the chords. Everyone wants the scar, but nobody's wants the scab. Too bad. Because for those not willing to submit themselves to some kind of practice, but are still hoping for immediate success, maybe they're the ones who are crazy.
