You just asked the 64K question.I heard on youtube manuel velasquez, describe the burning passion he has for getting up every morning , and building classical guitars. I read in classical gtr making by courtnall , how daniel friedrichs ,has that same driving passion to build wonderful guitars. If you could market that passion , just think of the possibilities.For so- called normals like me, it can be a struggle. I have days when I/m in the :zone: and everything is wonderful and coming up roses. Other days , joints fail , wood is not always compromising, and has a mind of its own., and at the end of the day I feel bummed out and eager to crash out. Thankfully I have hobbies, and other interests, the gym, cycling, cooking,archery, ham radio, hiking etc, plus an understanding wife. I have studied the lives of other artists, and getting an staying motivated can be vy tough indeed. On my (bad) days , I do what I call bozo work, shop chores, like waxing, the bandsaw table , making fone calls I/ve put off, resawing a few boards ,and for aerobic excercise, hand planing some stock for future use. I/m guessing since you live in chilliwack , you might be affected by a) lack of sunshine especially 8 months of the year, or a low barometric pressure. Whenever the clouds roll in, and the pressure drops , I get sleepy and feel sluggish an unmotivated. I found it easier to be highly motivated on sunny days. Anyhow that/s my 2 cents on it . Hope you find some answers.
