We know what you want to accomplish... The real question is, 'what are you willing to push through the dip for?' What are you willing to stand up for, bleed for, commit to and generally be unreasonable about? Because that's what's going to actually get done.

Quality is not an absolute measure. It doesn't mean 'deluxeness' or 'perfection'. It means keeping the promise the customer wants you to make.

The conversation is happening about your brand whether you're a part of it or not.
Seth Godin

All motivation is self-motivation. Your family, your boss, or your co-workers can try to get your engine going, but until you decide what to accomplish, nothing will happen.

Art isn't only a painting. Art is anything that's creative, passionate, and personal. And great art resonates with the viewer, not only with the creator... Art is a personal gift that changes the recipient. The medium doesn't matter. The intent does. Art is a personal act of courage, something one human does that creates change in another.

Once you free yourself from the need for perfect acceptance, it's a lot easier to launch work that matters.

You're competing against people in a state of flow, people who are truly committed, people who care deeply about the outcome.

If you can influence the outcome, do the work. If you can't influence the outcome, ignore the possibility. It's merely a distraction.
