Whatever You Think Your Limits Are, You’re Wrong

The Third Rule of the Artist’s Journey is:

If you imagine you know your limits, you’re mistaken.

I have a recurring dream. I’m moving through my house and I discover a room I’ve never seen before. Sometimes I’ll find an entire wing. I’ll stumble onto billiard rooms and libraries and great, candlelit ballrooms filled with revelers.

Those rooms are parts of myself that I didn’t know existed.

You have those rooms too.

All of us contain mansions and galleries and gardens that we’ve never encountered, that we had no idea existed.

Those places are where we create from.

If you think you know what you’re good at, think again. Trust me: you can do stuff you’ve never even dreamed of.

There are rooms and more rooms in our house, and more rooms after that.
