All inventions come from the unknown. All the great artists, writers, musicians and celebrities once were unknown and ignored. The only way anything ever gets created or anyone changes the world is by their believing in the unseen, and the unknown.
Having faith to keep going, keep believing, and taking that next step. Living with not knowing how you will pay the rent, how you will get published, how your music, or art will be received.
You live with that doubt, that pressure anyway, despite what everyone says and thinks. You keep going. You keep writing even when everyone says you should go get "a real job", you keep painting, and making music living on faith, not being able to answer those horrible How questions. How will you pay the rent? How will you survive? You don't know, you just know you will.
Until that sweet, sweet day when your book is finally published, your art work sells, your song gets accepted or played on the radio, And all becomes clear, what you've known all along that you were meant to shine, your words, your music, your art, declared magnificient.
Yes, success is amazing and well earned for it is our reward for believing in miracles.
