A couple of days ago i was thinking about something Noel Gallagher said about growing into a good musician and author. He said that songs he was writing when he was 16 weren't that good. A few years later his writing skills got better, but still not good enough... and then he just started writing all those smash hits.
The moral of the story? Of course, work on improving your abilities and you will become good enough to achieve your goals. Almost everyone knows this, but is there something else to this story?
We are programed to believe that things are predestined to happen. This means that Noel was born with talent and obviously he was not, because he wasn't singing "Wonderwall" when he was born. He was crying just like you and me.
People often tell you that you couldn't possibly be next Jim Morrison, Jimmy Page or Einstein. How can they know that?! They just can't believe that somebody from their environment can achieve something big or maybe they don't want you to achieve it. Why? Because that would take away excuses that it's not their fault. It's the environment, it's the genes, it's whatever.
You are free to do whatever (pun intended) you want, whatever you choose. Noel knows that and so do you. What are you going to do about it? You don't have to become a superstar or win a gold medal. Doing what you want in your life is enough. By the way, children of famous musicians usually don't succeed despite the connections and money.
