"Do the work. They will find you."
I guess I live by that credo. The key part of that is the first part. Do the work. Have faith in the work. Do work that has heart and meaning to you. The other part is out of your control. They will find it, or they will not. The work and the "finding" are different things, different processes.
You can't chase the others.
You want to create work that touches people and communicates, but the key is to create with a stubborn integrity. It's the only thing you can count on. And maybe they don't find you. That's the leap of faith, that's the risk you have to take.
And look at the history of humankind. People come and go. Sometimes the work does too. But then again, sometimes the work stands. But that really isn't your concern. It's not in your power. Don't worry about it.
Work. Do the work. Oh yeah. And play too! Take the leap. And risk. Whatever you think is valuable and important. And hard too.
