Most people are not good people. In business, in art, in almost every 'world' I've been in, most people I've meet are pretty gray to black. It takes practice to be the person who is a source of compassion and honesty.

Purpose is a man-made fiction. Nobody on their deathbed gets a plaque that says he focused on only one thing for his entire life! Those are counterfeit thoughts in a counterfeit society.

Do as many ideas as possible. The right idea will pick you.

The only truly safe thing you can do is to try over and over again. To go for it, to get rejected, to repeat, to strive, to wish. Without rejection there is no frontier, there is no passion, and there is no magic.
