Also I find trying to enjoy the journey as well as looking forward to the destination can help.

Do shit because you want to do it

Amit Dutta

Just forget your petty little ambitions, they mean nothing

But that's what happens when you're trying to get something out of what you're trying to do.. Not just art, but in general.

Everything else is bullshit compared to existential fear. And it's so dumb. We could have been taught to deal with it as kids, but our education system and cultures are too stupid

08 Jul 00:17

John

@Nick: I kinda understand what you're going through.. That nagging feeling of self-doubt that "I can't make it".. Honestly, to this day that thought still pop in and out of my head!

08 Jul 00:16

Amit Dutta

Best thing to realise if you feel fear of failure. Deeply realise you could be dead tomorrow, and all achievement means nothing. So live damn you, live.
