a note to self

Pursue your passion with a mission. Along the way, the problems of the world will arise. Explore solutions to the problems. Find a subject and tell a story that allows you to delve into the issues from your unique point of view. By doing so, you might find answers. If not, maybe you’ll challenge someone else to. Draw inspiration from everything. Make your story a beautiful story. Take the time to put it on paper. Your blueprint is precious. Build the right team. You’re going to need talented friends to help you realize your vision. Lead that team into the unknown with confidence. Be open, and they’ll be open with you. Don't forget to laugh. Work tirelessly until the story is told, share it with everyone who will see and hear it, then begin again on the next. Fear not what anyone thinks. Only the honesty in your singular truth will compel someone to start down her own road. And after all, that was your mission to begin with.
