This was exactly what I needed to read!

Keep at it! It's worth remembering the impacts a person can have without realising. In that sense, it's almost impossible that it can all be for nothing, because it's already been for something. When you're working out at the gym, your muscles ache but your body eventually gets stronger. It might be the same here - the mental aches and bruises are a signpost that you are becoming mentally every stronger and more powerful.

This is so interesting, as today during my own meditation I found myself realising some similar things. In fact, in my meditation journal which I wrote up just about 30 seconds before reading this entry, I wrote: "A moment can be perceived totally outside of time - a moment in itself has no need of time and can be enjoyed for the fact that it is timeless - in fact it's impossible to experience time when fully involved in one particular moment, as it were." I also wrote about how there is such thing as being aware of a moment's context within time, but that moment doesn't depend on its context to be what it is, if that makes any kind of sense. Anyway, it's really interesting to now read about these sorts of principles in relation to music
