what you need to succeed...

If you're going to try,
go all the way.

There is no other feeling like that.

You will be alone with the gods,
and the nights will flame with fire.

You will ride life straight to perfect laughter.

It's the only good fight there is.

— Charles Bukowski, Factotum

Turns out, it’s way less than you think…

We’re not playing to win, we’re playing to play. And ultimately, playing is fun. Perfectionism gets in the way of fun. A more skillful goal might be to find comfort in the process. To make and put out successive works with ease.
