My brother was a booty-kickin’ drummer in high school–I’m pretty sure he can still throw it down if he needs to! So I’ve always had a thing for drumlines. While I’m rhythmically challenged, I certainly enjoy those who can get their hands and feet all moving in different directions with skill. Like these guys:
Do you ever feel the tension of being obligated to do things you’re not very good at, which in turn takes time, energy, and attention away from the things that you feel like you do with skill?
I believe that there has to be a balance. It probably won’t be 50-50, but there ought to be some trade-off: things that you absolutely crush/things that you love/things that feed your soul vs things that are difficult/draining/demanding.
If you don’t ever get to the things that feed you, you’re probably headed to burnout. If you never get to the things that are difficult, you’re probably not growing.
If you don’t know what that balance is you should ask your friends. They’ll help you sort things out.
