The Worst Moments of My Life... That Actually Saved Me
This isn’t a guitar lesson. This is a story.
I’m sharing some of the hardest moments of my life — the setbacks, the failures, the times where things felt like they were falling apart — and how, looking back, those moments quietly pushed me toward the life I have now.
At the time, none of it felt good. It felt confusing, frustrating, and discouraging. But sometimes the things that don’t work out are the exact things that redirect us where we’re supposed to go.
If you’re feeling stuck, behind, or like things didn’t turn out the way you planned… this one’s for you.
? And if guitar has been part of your journey (or you want it to be), I do have free guitar resources linked below — no pressure, just there if you want them:
