answered by action

for a while now, Steven Pressfield's book The War of Art has been on my wishlist. i ran across this quote somewhere {cannot for the life of me remember where}, and wrote it down in my journal. i try to read it at least once a day. after you finish reading it, i'm sure you'll agree it is important...

the artist's life

are you a born writer? were you put on earth to be a painter, a scientist, an apostle of peace? in the end the question can only be answered by action.

do it or don't do it.

it may help to think of it this way. if you were meant to cure cancer or write a symphony or crack cold fusion and you don't do it, you not only hurt yourself, even destroy yourself, you hurt your children. you hurt me. you hurt the planet.

you shame the angels who watch over you and you spite the Almighty, who created you and only you with your unique gifts for the sole purpose of nudging the human race one millimeter farther along in it path back to God.

creative work is not a selfish act or a bid for attention on the part of the actor. it's a gift to the world and every being in it. don't cheat us of your contribution.

give us what you've got.

what were you born to do?
