Please stop waiting for a map. We reward those who draw maps, not those who follow them.
As soon as you are willing to say 'it's not for you', you're freed up to make art.
Successful people are the ones who are breaking the rules.
Being an artist isn't a genetic disposition or a specific talent. It's an attitude we can all adopt. It's a hunger to seize new ground, make connections, and work without a map. If you do those things, you're an artist.
You don't need a new plan for next year. You need a commitment.
Believe in what you do, because you may have to do it for a long time before it catches on.
