Along my journey helping millions of people pursue their creative passions, I have found that each and every one of us has been granted gifts. Yours are unique and specific. Job one is finding out what they are. Job two is bringing those unique gifts to bear. How? Pursue your own path, wherever it leads. Develop the skills to be successful in this pursuit. In moments of self-doubt, adopt a new mindset: stop avoiding the things you don’t want and start chasing the things you do. The goal isn’t to create a masterpiece; the goal is to make a masterpiece of your life.
