In any creative endeavor, you do have to sort of take your shots. Nobody is going to beg you to go into the creative arts.

So, you have to have the guts to put yourself out there and go for it in spite of the world saying, "You know, it would be so much easier, if you didn't pursue this." So, it does take guts.
