| When you're trying to please other people: | You're guessing you're stabbing in the dark you don't know you don't have a clue |
| When you're trying to please yourself: | You know exactly what you like you know exactly what you don't like |
Please yourself that's something you know about you know what you like. Do that and know in advance that not everybody will like it, but people whose mindset is similar to yours will love it as much as you do.

Another suggestion is be heart guided not mind guided. let your heart be the boss don't let your mind lead the way when it comes to music.
Iasos rejected university music education because he “was hearing unusual music in my mind and i didn't want to be programmed by their idea of what music is supposed to be, because i knew i was hearing my own idea what music could be. Very different.”
Columbia Records couldn't understand how to pigeonhole Iasos music. So he continued to let his heart be his guide.
Listen to your heart, it is your ok/not-okay meter
When your heart says “aaaaaaaaaah yes!” you got it right. If not, keep doing it over until you do.
