Gifts Are Not Favors. If

As Soon As You Are Willing To Say 'it's Not For You', You're Freed Up To Make Art.

Good Advice Is Priceless. Not What You Want To Hear, But What You Need To Hear. Not Imaginary, But Practical. Not Based On Fear, But On Possibility. Not Designed To Make You Feel Better, Designed To Make You Better. Seek It Out And Embrace The True Friends That Care Enough To Risk Sharing It. I'm Not Sure What Takes More Guts-giving It Or Getting It.

Who Gets To Decide What You Want?

No One Ever Gets Talker's Block. No One Wakes Up In The Morning, Discovers He Has Nothing To Say, And Sits Quietly, For Days Or Weeks, Until The Muse Hits, Until The Moment Is Right, Until All The Craziness In His Life Has Died Down.

Your Success Is No Longer About Your Ability To Do What You Are Told, And Do It Well.
