Episode notes
Consistency over Authenticity
- Strive for consistency, not authenticity, in your creative work.
- People want the best version of you and your work, not a fluctuating, unpredictable one.
Reassurance Is Futile
- Reassurance is temporary and unhelpful; accept that things might not be okay.
- Focus on your effort and generosity, not on seeking external validation or guarantees of success.
Finding Passion
- Cultivate passion for what you do instead of chasing an elusive pre-existing passion.
- Be cautious about monetizing hobbies, as it can diminish the enjoyment.
