Just my thoughts #0721

Life is a journey to find intersections. It’s about discovering commonalities between two different attributes: what I want to do and what I am good at, what I recognize and what others recognize, and what I have to do and what I want to do. Knowing your identity well increases your chances of success. However, many people focus only on what they want to do. This mindset can weaken the connection between me and others. We live each alone in this world, but not completely alone. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

We realize something while writing: we do not compose because we know. As we write down our problems, we instinctively understand what we know, what we don’t know, and what the main point is, which allows us to clarify precisely what it entails. Don’t just think; think as you write. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Johann Sebastian Bach had many children. To support his large family, Bach established a steady income, with occasional earnings from composing funeral music. This allowed him to secure a basic livelihood and sometimes pursue the music he was passionate about, which primarily resulted in his masterpieces. It is both desirable and important for an artist to earn a living independently. Balancing one’s livelihood as a person and as an artist holds significant religious and philosophical value. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
