Andy FrisellaHost
Davione JohnsonHostHi, Mr. Frisella.
My name is Tyler.
I am a 22-year-old aspiring orchestral bass trombonist.
My question for you is, how do you trust the process? Um, this is something that a lot of my mentors and a lot of my teachers tell me.
Always trust the process, to be patient.
Um, for me, my own experience, I want to win an orchestra job so bad.
Um, and I want to...
I just, I just want it so bad.
Um, but the prob- some...
You know, during the process, you know, I, I'm...
I get very frustrated with myself sometimes, especially when I'm practicing and I'm having some difficulty with certain things.
Um, it's very...
I get very frustrated, and I go through these, uh, ups and downs periodically, and there are times where I'm... where I do trust the process, and there are times where I don't trust the process.
You know, how do you trust the work that you're doing now will pay off in 10, 20, 20 years from now?
That's a great question, you know, and I think a lot of people struggle with that, and I actually like the fact that it's such a, um...
The context of the question has to do with joining an orchestra- Yeah ... and not just building a business.
Because this concept is applicable to anything that you wanna be great, okay? Now, let me say this to start.
The fact that you are frustrated, the fact that you get mad when things aren't moving fast enough, that's a fucking great thing, okay? 'Cause most people are the opposite.
They think that it's just gonna pan out, and things are gonna be okay, and guess what? They're fucking not.
It is not going to be okay unless you force it to be okay, and that is the biggest misconception when it comes to the idea of patience that we could possibly have, okay? So, to answer your question, uh, before I answer your question, you have the right mentality.
