Stop blaming other people. If you’ve got a problem, take responsibility. Don’t count the days, make the days count. I think it is better to risk starving to death than surrender. If you give up on your dreams, what’s left. If you give a room full of children a box of toys and then take that box away, they’ll do the same thing creators do. They’ll make their own toys and their own own joy. Remember, every failure is only redirection. We either give ourselves permission to be great, or we confirm ourselves to mediocrity.
