I practice more now than I used to, and I appreciate my practice sessions much more as I get older.

I used to work with a lot of negative energy, but now I see beauty in my practice that I didn't notice when I was younger.

I think that as I age, I still wake up excited about each day, valuing my relationships and the joy they bring. I've learned a lot about human behavior over the years, and I think I'm better at understanding it now than I was in my 20s.

I find joy in the smaller aspects of my work, even though some parts are stressful and challenging.

When everything comes together during practice, it feels special and beautiful, highlighting the complexity of the process involving the brain, body, and heart.

As I've aged, my fear of death has diminished; I focus more on maintaining my health and being present for my family and friends.

I realized that the more I focus on the positive aspects of my journey, the more I can enjoy the reality of my experiences, regardless of the challenges.

I used to hate practicing because I thought I was missing something, but I've realized I wasn't missing anything at all.

As I've matured, I tend to play music I genuinely enjoy more, rather than just what I feel obligated to play.
