On courage

From the Inspirational Thought Unit

Been thinking a lot lately about the current state of creators and people's relationship with their creations. I think things have never been this good for an indie creator...yet I know there's still a lot of risk involved because it feels like the world has never been more volatile.

Looking at the creator landscape though love seeing who becomes successful at this path. And it has less to do with originality and ideas and more to do with consistency and connection.

Novelist and art theorist André Malraux puts it nicely:

"Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one's better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk—and to act."

-André Malraux

Have the courage this week to bet on yourself for one thing. Keep repeating until you succeed.
