Yes sure, Chester, and not only as a musician! For sure every goal I want to reach and every path I go on the way to this has disturbing and slowening influences like distraction (e.g. sounds from the mobile phone), limiting beliefs (e.g. I am not a professional musician, so I cannot be really good) and inaction (watching of the 3rd youtoube-Video about playing Jazz Guitar instead of taking the guitar and play). If these influences are too strong or I let them be too strong, only a tiny drop of success results in the end. Some of these influences I cannot change (I am not a professional musician - but by the way - I am sure that professional musicians, too, are in the need of planning well for having enough time to practise their instrument). And some I can manage (turning off the mobile phone while guitar practice / playing regularly every day instead of only when I want to do). So - what I appreciate in this diagram is that there is not mentioned a "gift". Understood as something you have or have not. But that the most important on the way to reach your goals is to realize what influences and circumstances are in your hands and whats just your reality you have to cope with.
