Competence Is No Longer A Scarce Commodity.

How Dare You Settle For Less When The World Has Made It So Easy For You To Be Remarkable?

If It Scares You, It Might Be A Good Thing To Try.

Making Promises And Keeping Them Is A Great Way To Build A Brand.

Sooner Or Later, The Ones Who Told You That This Isn't The Way It's Done, The Ones Who Found Time To Sneer, They Will Find Someone Else To Hassle. Sooner Or Later, They Stop Pointing Out How Much Hubris You've Got, How You're Not Entitled To Make A New Thing, How You Will Certainly Come To Regret Your Choices. Sooner Or Later, Your Work Speaks For Itself. Outlasting The Critics Feels Like It Will Take A Very Long Time, But You're More Patient Than They Are.

If It Were Any Other Way, It Would Be Easy. And If It Were Any Other Way, Everyone Would Do It And Your Work Would Ultimately Be Devalued. The Yin And Yang Are Clear: Without People Pushing Against Your Quest To Do Something Worth Talking About, It's Unlikely It Would Be Worth The Journey. Persist.
