the story I'm about to share hasn't been easy for me because I don't look awesome
in it but I know it's why you're not successful years ago I was probably
about 19 going into a Walmart it was late on a Thursday night I was with my
younger sister had to take her to get some arts and crafts projects and I was
killing time I was walking towards the game section I saw this guitar just
caught my eye if you don't know what this is this is Guitar Hero it's kind of
like Dance Dance Revolution but the keys fly at the screen and you have to hit
the buttons on this controller when you hit them in line when you're supposed to
there's a virtual audience in the video game that's cheering you on you feel
like a rock star when you're doing it well but when you miss Keys they boo and
if you miss enough keys they boo you so hard they rip out your cord and you have
to take a walk of shame off stage now I started playing this game and the game
that I was playing the song was slow ride by Foghat I started playing it and
I will tell you it was one of the greatest feelings I had ever had in my
life because I was hitting every note I played the entire song perfectly the
audience in the crowd in that game were losing their minds I was a rock star in
their eyes then I looked in reality it was Thursday night probably about 10
o'clock right now in the evening and no one was really there except for my
sister felt like showing off to her but I did not get what I was expecting
Michael you're on the easy level why are you even bragging about that but I
thought okay look I played it perfectly on the easy level maybe I'll move up a
next level move up to the rock star level and you know I'll be fine
I was only on the medium level and I was only 15 seconds in and there are so many
more keys it was going so much faster it one lasted 15 seconds before the virtual
audience had enough they booed me offstage my core was ripped and I could
no longer finish the song
was just the game but it just devastated me this feeling of rejection from a
virtual audience not even real people
I'll tell you I love that feeling from playing on the easy level this is
pathetic but I waited for my sister to leave and
I played the easy level again just these three little keys notes coming at me so
slow that I can hit it perfectly and the audience would go nuts again it's pretty
sad to live your life like this so create this feeling so bad to feel that
you're great to feel that you're important that you matter that you stay
on the easy level and you never actually become better you never master anything
I could say that the world is different but it's really not what if you started
looking at everyone in your life this audience just like in that game was it
real yes they're watching you yes when you fall they might laugh and you might
make a fool of yourself from time to time but in reality it's a virtual
audience they're not as obsessed with you as you think they are I think one of
the keys in life is having a dream or having a skill some type of value want
to add to the world and working on it and removing that potential for getting
booze or getting your cord ripped and having to go offstage let that be
something that you don't fear be so wrapped up in becoming an actual
rockstar becoming actually good at your craft if the audience won't matter
you'll just use them for feedback but your Kian life will be stepping up to
the hardest level stretching yourself doing above and beyond what you think
you can do so that one day you can actually do it I don't know what it is
but you're still that you want to develop is your dream is I think you can
do it but I can't think you can stay at the easy level the same time as well
just stretch yourself try to push yourself
a little bit more and almost intensely get booze get rejected play on a level
that's above your skill level just to know that it's okay the world is not
going to crumble when you make a mistake or fail or get rejected or have people
laugh at you you so wrapped up in hitting those keys and getting better
not the audience no longer is there all that matters is you getting better so
get off the easy level one from this guitar hero game I certainly have
I start taking it to the next level moving to the next level is challenging
