To all of you creatives that feel like they're not cutting it and that you exist as a machine of mediocrity... Remember that you yourself are a product of an act of total and unique creation. Not one person looks, acts or reacts the way that you do. Through the simple act of existence you are unique and special. The world may tell us differently. But I find more often than not its our own inner voice that says we can't hack it. My advice born from recent experience; don't let anything paralyze you into thinking that life is futile. Always remember that value lies in so much more than, perfection and idealization. Trust that the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other, one step at a time is creatively and artistically good enough. Uncertainty is mystery, and mystery is potentiality. I thank the Lord how he created me, and that, like a masterful work of art, he is not yet finished with his greatest strokes of creative genius. Like an atom waiting to split, an explosion can happen at anytime.
Literally a page from my own playbook.
