The Haunting

As self-reliant, independent artists and entrepreneurs, the one thing that incessantly troubles us, the one thing that mercilessly crawls under our skin and causes us to anxiously fidget and squirm the most, is that haunting voice between our ears that relentlessly reminds us of what we haven’t achieved, what we are avoiding, and what we have yet to accomplish; in both our creative careers and in our personal lives.

Important because, listen closely to the words of the great poet Ralph Waldo Emerson as he whispers his wisdom from the grave: “Don’t waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour’s duties will be the best preparation for the hours, days, and ages that will follow it.”
