The hope is that you find a series of problems that you don’t wish away.
When you have a problem, do you want it to go away so that you have peace and quiet and happiness forever and ever…or do you see completing this problem as a gateway to the next task?
The only people who don’t have problems are people who are doing nothing.
Once you take your guitar out of your bedroom a series of problems and joy begin.
I’m not saying you should necessarily be in love with your current crap fest…but love THAT you have one and that it’s leading you further down the trail…where there will be another crap fest and set of problems.
The goal is not to be problem free. The goal is to have problems that are meaningful, that you want to solve in order to get a set of bigger problems.
So should we be wishing for HUGE problems? The size isn’t important right now…the progression is.
Finding a progression, a series of problems that you don’t wish away, but embrace as each one arises.
The question isn’t “How do I get rid of the problems”…but “Are these the type of problems I want to tackle in order to attain the long term benefit that goes along with solving them?”
