Stop Waiting For Approval

Unless you are doing brain surgery, run a small country, or manage a multibillion dollar hedge fund, stop waiting for permission to do your best work.

Stop asking for permission to take the lead on the stuff you’re doing now, today.

Stop waiting for someone to celebrate your art.

Stop waiting on the right conditions to make music.

Stop waiting to speak up, to make a difference, to have someone validate that what you do is exceptional, legitimate. Bad news: validation may never come.

Forever is a long time to not do your best work.
