master your craft so completely that it becomes your language. not the language you speak to impress others, but the language you think in. where the work isn’t separate from you, isn’t something you do, but something you are. where your hands know before your mind does. where you’ve repeated the fundamentals so many times they’ve dissolved into instinct.
it’s not just talent. it’s mind and body numbing devotion. it’s showing up when inspiration left. it’s the thousand hours nobody saw that make the one hour everybody wants.
excellence is a religion.
and the only prayer that matters is practice.
Please take time to disconnect & fall off the grid, find a new purpose in life, make new plans, & achieve your goals w/o needing validation or applause from the internet. It can change your life.
Remain in the shadows for as long as you can.
That's where you grow the most. In the shadows, you are unseen, undiscovered, not being surveilled, and free from the pressure to ”show up” in a certain way.
Stay in the shadows.
If you find yourself in the shadows right now, take the time to appreciate it.

Life really does get better man. One day things just start looking up; relationships get easier, you get back your spark & zest for life, money starts flowing, things that were a problem are no longer a problem. so glad I held on & I get to experience the promises God has for me
