You're ready. Start making stuff.

The people who get what they’re after are very often the ones who just stick around long enough.

Draw the art you want to see, start the business you want to run, play the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read, build the products you want to use – do the work you want to see done.

Don't wait until you know who you are to get started.

Not everybody will get it. People will misinterpret you and what you do. They might even call you names. So get comfortable with being misunderstood, disparaged, or ignored -- the trick is to be too busy doing your work to care.

The thing is: It takes a lot of energy to be creative. You don't have that energy if you waste it on other stuff.

There's a balance between what you want to give the world and what it needs. If you're lucky, your work is in the middle.
