![]() When you pick up your gaita, don't pick it up like everyone else. Don't let your mind slip into "piper's mediocrity." This time, don't drone away, trying to find the old trodden path. That path is a ruddy, bloody mess of tradition, that, while wonderfully noble, goes exactly the same place every time. It ends where it always has. Open your heart. Look to your right, your left. Look at all that green grass and forest and misty mountains waiting to be explored. This time, your time, is a time for something better. Yes, you hold in your hands a legacy far bigger than you, that you will probably never fully understand or master. Yet by becoming a part of it, you get the chance, in each moment you practice and grind and perfect your craft, to create something new, do something new. Make a new path. Dare to. Mediocrity will never do. You are capable of something oh so much better.

I've been to different websites for quite a long time, but I've never been satisfied just like what I am feeling after reading this post. It encourages me to find the better path; the right path that's definitely for me! Now, I am more motivated to walk on the right path. There's no room for being coward and hesitation. It's about time to make some actions because indeed, mediocrity will never do! It's about to start reaching the dream you've sent years ago!
