I haven't played properly for but do plan to pick it up again soon (he says!). That is just how life goes - things fall away. As much as I loved singing and playing and making up songs, I knew I would never be great at it - my natural aptitude was limited and despite plenty of dedicated practice I hit a ceiling. From comparing myself to friends who were really good and had natural musical ability I knew my skills were limited. By comparison - I have never felt this with art or writing. I have felt it with sports and motorbike riding - proficient at both but knew I would never be a champion.
It's good to know what you can and can't do and the limits of each skill. With the ones that you have natural ability for you find that 'sweet spot', you get into the zone, you are able to tap into a higher power of sorts and just allow yourself to be a conduit. Everyone has something. Find it and get there. Nothing like a natural high. It's the best.
