@johnsummit Listen to your body and take time off when needed, regardless of external influences. Look at Avicii—he was out there crushing 250 shows a year, but in the end, it really got to him.
you can’t necessarily control the rhythms of your life, you kind of just have to go through it. and the creative practice is just getting out in the field and actually doing it and trying to figure out how to do that is the fun part.
Just be nice and take care of those around you.
If you’ve got money, pay for that dinner others can’t afford. If you’ve got knowledge, share it. Got a nice studio? Open it to whoever needs it. Nothing is better than genuinely wanting the people around you to succeed.
It’s easy.
