Sometimes even villains can teach us about some things. In this case, the Terminator.
You know, the famous character Arnold Schwarzenegger played. The "I'll be back" character.
Or in his Austrian accent pronounced more like, "I'll be Bach" (har har har...).
The terminator is the robot sent from the future to kill the mom of John Connor, the future leader of the human resistance. The terminator is disguised to look like a human.
But the thing about the terminator isn't the human lookalike-ness.
It's that he's relentless.
No matter what the heroes try to do. Run. Hide. Shoot it. Whatever.
It just...keeps...coming.
It's only in the final scene (spoiler alert) when the heroine traps the terminator in a hydraulic press that it's finally crushed.
While the character is a killing machine, we can take some of those relentless qualities for our own non-killing work.
Things like completing a project. Practicing. Learning a skill.
Whether you're tired, hungry, sick, gassy, whatever...be like the terminator (within reason, of course).
Relentless in your pursuit of those exciting things you've been dreaming about.
Never miss a blog post!
For parents, students, and anyone else who believes that music can and should be a meaningful part of everyone's life.

How did this past week go? What’s something you could have done better? What can you change this week to do that thing better? And how will you make sure you stick to it? Weekly reviews aren’t sexy, by any means. But they’re effective. Do it for a couple months, and you’ll be astounded by the results.

Logic tells us this: Practicing 5 minutes for six days would be the same as practicing 30 minutes for one day. It adds up to the same total minutes, so the benefits are the same.
