It’s Worth Fighting For

On the best days you feel your creative work is passable.
On the worst, you want throw your camera/paint brush/pen/script/book against the wall.
But here's the kicker: simply showing up and doing it is far better than the alternative.
If you want success, show up for three years and work like your life depends on it.
Because it does.
The work will teach you how to survive.
It will make you humble.
Best yet, it'll make you hungry.
The work will prove that success isn't luck, getting a break or having connections…success is showing up every day when no one is watching and honing your craft, even when you doubt something will come of it.
Success doesn't prove anything, the Work does.
Show up to prove your art is worth fighting for.
