Earlier, i am Fool was rocked by disappointment when we weren't nominated for a Syracuse Area Music award, given in a dozen categories. Bands with much worse CDs, and even cover bands, got nominations, but we were passed up, and it didn't go down well with my band-mates.
Or with me. I was certain that i am Fool's CD Freak in the Machine was worthy. Especially when I listened to some of the CDs by other bands I knew. It's a good CD. I felt hurt and angry that we didn't get the nomination we deserved.
I was surprised by my response, for two reasons: First, because I hate these awards. Second, because I didn't realize how emotionally invested I'd become in having the band get this recognition.
It took some eyes-closed deep breathing, but I got over this pretty quickly. Then I tried to understand the lessons to be learned from this.
Of course, the big lesson is not to be attached, attachment being the over-arching source of all the negative emotions I felt. Below that, there are some other ones, having to do with seeking approval, expectations of others, how self-worth is defined and so on.
I spent a few minutes contemplating these things. Then I shrugged, and went out and played pretty well at the open mic.

ReplyDeletenobody knows what they're doing, or why.
Yes. there is no logic or reason to things. Good job handling it!! Just talked (briefly) to your son to wish him happy birthday. He did not complain even though it was very early. Good boy.
