When I was younger, I had the impression that difficult times could be avoided if I followed the advice and wisdom of more experienced men and women. Today they are called mentors. And if something went wrong, I must have veered from tried and proven paths.
This is fine for many things in life to do with learning and safety but not progress. For by definition, progress means change or doing something new. What has not been done before is naturally misunderstood because it will be judged by the past. And by definition anything new has no past or track record. So no one will seem interested let alone support it.
The creative person will feel trouble everyday because few see what they see and fewer want to go with them. Trouble.
Passion though, cannot be ignored. It burns inside and cannot be put out. So I need songs like this to lift me spirit for a while.
"Trouble ain't gon' be here everyday
Even though sometimes it seems like it won't go away
After you've done all that you know how
Just to keep from breaking down
Just believe it's gonna get much better
After awhile"
