Artists and creators become so because they feel they have a special taste to share, a special view of the world that is significant and different. But to really be able to bring it to life and share it with the world takes time and work.
James Clear • Ira Glass and What Every Successful Person Knows, but Never Says
It’s easier to recognize beauty than it is to create it. You’re good enough to know that what you’re doing isn’t good, but not good enough to produce something great. When you find yourself in this frustrating limbo, the challenge is to never forget what got you there in the first place. Remember that thing that got you into the game.
Your love. You... See more
Your love. You... See more

There’s a difference between talent and skill. Talent comes from God—you’re born with it. Skill comes from sweat and practice and commitment. Don’t just skate through this opportunity. Hone your craft.”
