The 3 Word Question That Can Improve Your Creative Work
It’s a brutal question, but that’s why success is hard
I reached a point last year when I was ready to throw in the towel.
I think a lot of creatives get there. That dark alley off the main roadway. The lonely dead-end.
You took an exit off the highway to success because you were tired of racing and swerving around all the other cars. You thought maybe there was a shortcut. A better route.
Or maybe you just went looking for a rest stop.
But then you turned down that dark alley, and it led to a dead end. It’s remote. There’s an old dumpster and garbage. The street light is flickering, and you hear a scream nearby. Maybe from a fellow traveler who got lost here.
There are a lot of creatives out there, marooned in one dead end or another. I know, I was one of them.

You’re on your own.
