Summary

In the context of learning a musical instrument, it's obvious that there's a period of not being good at it. Whether you call it mediocrity or a skill gap, there's often a gap between where you are and where you want to be. There are many cases in which we can only improve by doing, trying, and yes, failing. It's uncomfortable and that's normal. You don't have to like it, but it is a step in learning or improving. I HATE IT. And I also know it's going to happen. AuDHD Flourishing resources: Transcript Doc (often a few weeks behind, but we do catch up!)
