It is very important to take events in stride and not idealize their expected solutions. Moreover, ideas that you conjure yourself are the ideas which separate the exquisite from the "just so", meaning that you may "know" how to play guitar and know all of the theories behind it, and be potentially ready to compose a masterpiece work, but you never actually will because you've never practiced someone else's music, and learned the techniques involved to feasibly accomplish the details in real time. Because it's the details which make the music, not the theory. And it is these details too, which separate one productive mood from the next, and which create feelings of despair or ones of complete joy inside a person.
