"The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages; the question is what he will do with the things he has. The moment a young man ceases to dream or to bemoan his lack of opportunities and resolutely looks his conditions in the face, and resolves to change them, he lays the corner-stone of a solid and honorable success."

“The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and somthing else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case.”

Really fantastic article in THE NEW YORKER regarding the history of procrastination and what it tells us about ourselves. A really well written piece that made me re-evaluate the reason I put off important tasks. My favorite concept of "the divided self" and how we fight within and try to tell stories that keep us from achieving our dreams and goals. I've always felt that I had a great deal of time to accomplish things but next thing I know months and years go by and I'm right where I started. Sometimes it isn't just a matter a will but also an issue of self. To read the article please click HERE.
