To be an artist
You have to have the all-important skill of consistently psyching yourself out – making yourself believe in a future version of you that is more developed, or more talented, or more skilled, more famous, more wealthy, more amazing than you are at the present. It has to happen every day, and you’re constantly recalibrating as you work and grow and change and get to know yourself. This kind of faith can be exhausting, but when coupled with the necessary work ethic, it makes the difference between those who go far and those that don’t.
Today I’m believing in the better me.
