sudden success is the most dangerous thing that can happen to you.
you forget what actually caused it.
you start believing a story that isn’t true.
you drift.
when something works, slow down.
figure out exactly why.
then do it again on purpose.
Find your passion.
Don’t chase passion. Passion comes naturally.
Try new things.
Stop hopping between things.
Pick a hobby.
Don’t make your hobby your personality.
Get good at something.
You don’t have to be good at your hobbies.
Make art.
Nobody needs more bad art.
Post your art.
Stop seeking validation.
Make it for yourself.
If nobody sees it, what’s the point?
Join a community.
Don’t compare yourself to people who have been doing it for ten years.
Ask them how they got good.
Practice.
Practice consistently.
Don’t turn your hobby into another job.
Take it seriously.
Not that seriously.
Buy the nice equipment.
Gear won’t make you better.
Use what you have.
Your equipment sucks.
Take a pottery class.
You can buy a bowl for six dollars.
Learn woodworking.
You live in an apartment.
Learn photography.
Your iPhone is better than the camera you can afford.
Start painting.
You haven’t drawn since middle school.
That’s fine. Be a beginner.
Being a beginner at twenty somehow feels humiliating.
Do it badly.
But post the process.
Now strangers can watch you do it badly too.
Find people who love the same thing.
They’re better than you.
That’s good. Learn from them.
Now you feel worse.
Stick with it.
How long?
Long enough to know if you love it.
How do you know if you love it?
You’ll know.
You don’t know.
Maybe this isn’t your thing.
Don’t quit too early.
Life’s too short to force things you don’t enjoy.
So quit.
You always quit.
Okay, don’t quit.
Now you’re forcing it.
Turn your passion into a career.
Never monetize your hobbies. It kills the joy.
Sell your work.
Nobody’s buying it.
Good. You’re a real artist now.
Actually, you’re just unemployed.
Find your people.
Build a community.
Touch grass.
Stop looking for your passion.
Go do something long enough that one has a chance to find you.
