You and only you are responsible for you life.
There isn’t anyone that is going to pick you, unless it makes them look better.
As Seth Godin says, the Oprah show is over, the agencies and publishers don’t have the same power as they once did.
You have to do it for yourself now.
No one else can feel the fire in your heart. No one else can possibly understand all of your reasons why. And there isn’t any way for someone else to create the opportunity that is tailor made for you.
Only you can do it
You have to show up for you. In a way that fulfills you, challenges you, validates who you are, and honours what is important.
Only you can create the life you want, because only you know what it is.
You just have to care enough to do it.
