Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do.
Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong.

Austin Kleon, on work:


Draw the art you want to see,
start the business you want to run,
play the music you want to hear,

build the products you want to use - 
do the work you want to see done.

Ray Bradbury, on imagination:


The ability to fantasize is the ability to survive,
and the ability to fantasize is the ability to grow.

- Ray Bradbury.

John Steinbeck, on writing:


When I face the desolate impossibility of writing five hundred pages,
a sick sense of failure falls on me, and I know I can never do it.
Then gradually, I write one page and then another.
One day's work is all I can permit myself to contemplate.

- John Steinbeck.

Asher Roth, on dedication:


Do your thing.
Do it unapologetically.
Don't be discouraged by criticism.
You probably already know what they're going to say.
Pay no mind to the fear of failure.
It's far more valuable than success.
Take ownership, take chances, and have fun.
And, no matter what, don't ever stop doing your thing.

- Asher Roth.
