You have absolutely nothing to lose this year. Nothing. And you have everything to gain.
The best thing that you can do is fail... fall on your face, wipe the snot off your nose, stand up straight, and try again...
Failure is more juice for your art. More energy. More motivation.
Listen to me here, I'm going to say this with full seriousness. It's as true today as it was when I was dead broke and lost...
"The thought of my dreams not working out doesn't even enter my stream of consciousness. Everything works out in my favor. So I must dream bigger, I must win at all costs." Repeat this to yourself every morning. Everytime shit gets hard. Everytime you want to quit.
WHY NOT ME?
WHY CANT I WIN? IF NOT ME, THEN WHO??
Respectfully, Mr. Four ToEight.
