Let What You Love Kill You...

I found something helpful today that comes from England. Specifically the GuardianUK (linked below).

I didn't play the piano for 10 years. A decade of slow death by greed working in the City, chasing something that never existed in the first place (security, self-worth, Don Draper albeit a few inches shorter and a few women fewer). And only when the pain of not doing it got greater than the imagined pain of doing it did I somehow find the balls to pursue what I really wanted and had been obsessed by since the age of seven – to be a concert pianist.

The rest of the article is excellent, recommended reading, features a moving video of james playing.

And here’s different video W/ an interview (the Guardian’s video is great too, definitely worth a click).  He almost missed his calling.  Then got back on track, just in time from the sound of it.
