It must be our human nature. I know I fall into this category. Every single one of my students falls into this category. And if you are reading this page, searching for THE ANSWER, then my friend, you fall into this category as well unless this is your introduction to positive thinking/motivation sites.
I can't tell you how many books I've read, tapes I've listened to, and seminars I've attended since I got hooked on self-help materials back in the early 70s.
You'd think by now I would have the answer. Well, I DO! You'd think by now my incredible quest would have ended. Not a chance. "I know that stuff already" I cry. "Teach me something NEW!"
In my music classes, I teach only one lesson. You get EVERYTHING I know on the first day you study with me. Then, even if you stay with me for 10 years, I simply become your coach; pushing, prodding, cajoling, encouraging, motivating you to DO THE THINGS I taught you on the first lesson.
No matter how difficult the song gets, it all boils down to the same basic skills to figure it out and play it.
Your life is like that, too. Again, unless this is your introduction to this sort of stuff (rather unlikely), then your search ends here. Stop saying, "Teach me something NEW" because you already know the answer(s) to your deepest, most perplexing problems.
Why not try APPLYING what you already know for a change. As Tony Robbins often says, "What a Concept!" :-)
