If you've never felt like giving up on your music career, are you a real musician?

Maybe you haven't ever felt that crippling sense of self-doubt, that 3 a.m. stream of consciousness that says, "Maybe I'm not cut out for this. Maybe I'm not good enough." Maybe you haven't felt like smashing your guitar into a million pieces after trying for weeks to get a chord progression right. If you haven't experienced any kind of uncertainty thus far in your career as an artist, congratulations, but you're probably a rare breed.

Last week, we posted a video from artist Brett Dennen, explaining what he thinks is the most important aspect of staying true to one's roots whenever a musician feels like giving up. Today, thanks to Sonicbids blog, we've got some more inspirational fodder for you in the form of three critical questions - ones you can ask yourself just about anywhere, at anytime, to reinforce your dream to be a successful musician.

1. Why did I want to puruse music in the first place?

2. Why is failure an option?

3. Could I ever be as fulfilled doing anything else?
