the urge to go outside in the middle of the night while everybody is asleep, just to look at the stars and the moon, listen to the wind and walk though empty streets.
I don't know who needs to hear this but you need to lock the fuck in. Find a mission. Dedicate your life to it. Eliminate distractions. Quit your vices. Commit to deep work. Each day do 3 things that move you toward your goals. Success is determined by focus. Lock the fuck in.
To be an artist, you don't have to compose music or paint or be in the movies or write books. It's just a way of living. It has to do with paying attention, remembering, filtering what you see and answering back, participating in life.
– Viggo Mortensen
You need an outlet for stress. It could be weights, running, videos games, surfing, MMA etc. Anything that gets you out of your head and away from the stresses of the day. Without an outlet we accumulate stress and this can destroy us. You’re not a robot. Find your outlet.
