All The Right Notes

Someone once said, ~One man gets nothing but discord out of a piano; another gets harmony. No one claims the piano is at fault . Life is about the same. The discord is there, and the harmony is there. Study to play it correctly, and it will give forth the beauty; play if falsely, and it will give forth the ugliness. Life is not at fault.~ Without a doubt, life can at times be compared to a piano or play it for that matter. For it's a thought provoking situation indeed as life can certainly be viewed as black white like the keys on a piano. Essentially, it's those keys black and white keys representing the light and dark side of our thoughts, feelings, as well as emotions that determine how motivated each of us are going about our daily performances, so to speak.

As I said before, life can certainly be viewed as black and white like the keys on a piano. I think it's safe to say, when it comes to our individual worldview it can most definitely be adversely affected in such a negative or positive way to the point where it changes one's overall perspective involving living life on a day to day basis. Thinking about it further, each one of us, don't want to for all intents and purposes end up repeatedly playing/hitting the same notes, in a manner of speaking, that it becomes tediously boring. What it primarily comes down to is changing the tune of our own emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual keys whereby creating a better performing/listening dynamic, which may very well make all the difference.

If you think about it, a piano can oftentimes be out of key and the same can be said pertaining to your own life as well. You see, there are moments where we've all experienced being so frustrated metaphorically sitting in the front of the piano of life and not being able to figure out the right keys when tickling the ivories. In a sense, when any person feels like their own life is not sounding right you end up attempting to fix it by either changing to a higher or lower key. In other words, making changes is either considered gradual or drastic. True, those life key changes have the capability to turn the awful sounding situation we're all going through in life to something that you've worked hard to hopefully sound melodically beautiful.

Let me ask this question to those who know how to play the piano, how skilled and knowledgeable were you back then when you first initially started playing? Here's another question, how are your piano skills and knowledge experience now? Oftentimes, having the skills and knowledge to figure out how to easily tap the keys come about after going through tremendous amounts of trial and error signifying one's unwavering commitment. The unwavering commitment to put in the hard work and not get up to leave because life is too complicated, as well as difficult to understand instead of knowing where exactly the right keys are located. Ultimately it's considerably important to have a better understanding of rather than just knowing what life is all about.

In retrospect, every key on life's piano represents everything from living the single life, friendship involving gal pals/best buds, family, marriage, career, etc. Granted, not every key will be easily figured out and there will be moments where it will be completely out of key. For the most part, the individual aspect of life that are considered off key will never really sound perfect. They'll sound imperfectly perfect and hopefully without any complaints whatsoever. Granted, complaining about life is natural, but it's how you personally and professionally deal with those off key complaints that reveal how truly understanding you are with your life skill experiences. In the end, we all have to go through hitting the off key bad notes in order to eventually hit all the right notes.
