Go into yourself and test the deeps in which your life takes rise; at its source you will find the answer to the question whether you must create. Accept it, just as it sounds, without inquiring into it. Perhaps it will turn out that you are called to be an artist. Then take that destiny upon yourself and bear it, its burden and its greatness, without ever asking what recompense might come from outside.-Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
Not to sound flighty or overstated, but we need less approval from the outside world and more from inside.
The teachers always say that's it's what you think that matters. Now I believe it's up to us to start really believing it.
