Creativity requires tenacity. Most of your accomplishments will be demonstrations of resolve, not talent. When you get lost, learn to carve a new path. When the darkness closes in, learn to kindle the light. When you can’t see things clearly, learn to look through the eyes of others. Every set of adverse conditions in the act of creation can lead to a broader set of skills. The rewards for perseverance are always waiting just on the other side of what we think is impossible.
