Composed A Memoir

There's a story about Roseanne Cash uh Johnny Cash's daughter I think I heard about it from Stephen Pressfield first but it's it's in her memoir which is which is really really good but she was you know sort of coasting she's obviously naturally talented her fathers like sort of music royalty so she's just sort of doing her thing and she'd put out a couple albums and they'd done okay and she has this dream one night and you know dreams are like sort of weird and she's so she's in this dream and she's at this party and she sees the singer Linda Ronsett talking to this man and the man has like a name tag on it says art right these are symbolizing like her craft what she does and uh she goes up to them she's this huge Linda Ronsett fan and and she um she tries to talk to her and the man art looks at her and he says we don't respect dilatants and then they both turn her back their back on her and uh she sort of has this wake up call that yeah she hasn't she's been doing okay but she had she's been a bit of a dilatant like she wasn't all in on the thing and then you know she ends up hiring better a collaborator she demands more of herself as a lyricist and as a musician you know um hires teachers etc and I think about that moment it's like are you being serious about this thing or are you just enjoying the fact that you're pretty good at it or that you're getting rewards for it or you know that it doesn't ask that much from you um because life doesn't let ultimately the craft or the profession or the thing it doesn't have much time for dilatants you're not going to get very far no and you're not going to be handed it and and I think that was the biggest the biggest lesson is you know I don't know that I necessarily even had the the most belief in myself that I could do it so maybe there was a sense of a fear that crept in you know what if I start running what if I start working hard and then what if I don't make it right um but I committed to it from that point on I was like you said I was all in and and just consistently living a lifestyle you know throughout that journey of taking care of my body getting enough sleep eating well training as much as I can double triple the amount of other other players um and just committing to that and you don't know what the the journey is going to be like and you don't know how it's going to play out but just a big believer in just being consistent with everything that you do and and give it it all you have and the journey will write itself
