Some Advice.
Very unsolicited, but probably useful.
1. Listen to no one, except those that matter and need to be heard. Family, close friends (real ones), customers, employees (good ones).
2. It is not about you.
3. People care about themselves, naturally. I care about me. It's human. That means don't get upset when no one responds or "likes" a post. They saw it, but didn't stop to acknowledge because they are adults and assume you are too.
4. As you get older, your circle will shrink.
5. When people promote, its likely they are proud of what they made or can offer. When they over-promote, they likely don't believe what they have is worth much.
6. If you speak to 1000 people a year, and only one is truly helped, you didn't waste time. It matter to that one person. You could be that one person and it would matter to you.
7. Everyone makes art. Art is creative expression. You make it daily. You likely hide it. Don't. See #1, 3, and 6.
8. Do what you love. If someone tells you to stop doing what you love, see #4.
9. Meet new people. Especially those not like you. Be careful, they may rub off and help you evolve.
That's it. None random things that I wrote in todays writing session.
Here is my #5:
Also created this little gift. Free. No strings. I bet you love it. If you do, tell me. Feedback is fuel. Good and Bad.
