‘Piano Man Hits the High Note with Success at 88’

I think it’s absolutely wonderful that Ray Eveleigh has passed his grade 8 piano with distinction.  However, when I heard that headline I thought – wow, that’s incredible!  And of course, it is.  It’s also important to note the following contextual factors:

  • He’s been playing the piano all his life
  • He had the encouragement of his wife and daughter
  • He had the time and the health to do this

If you’re contemplating an ambitious goal in your life, make sure you have the resources around you which will set you up for success and the motivation to put the time in.
