Own your time
Fast food is junk food.
Fast art is junk art.
People get by with junk
But get moved with only what took time.
Are you owning your time?
To think?
To create?
To strategize?
To uncover what you really want?
Close that laptop.
Stop that scroll.
Don't worry,
Noise will stay put, waiting
If you ever choose to come back
To get by
Or
To move others
With your art.
Cut the jerk way
People will tell you, you need to be a jerk to become a successful leader, but that's a trap. Jerk leaders are in pain, all the TIME.
That's why they yell.
That's why they push.
That's why they blame.
That’s why they mistake playing safe with being stuck. Ouch.
