The Only Things That Really Matter Are…

WHO you are matters less now than ever before. Pedigrees no longer matter. You can go from nobody to famous, or rich, or happy, or successful without anyone else’s permission.

WHAT you are matters less now than ever before. Movie stars and wine experts, academics and ultimate wrestlers are all on the same playing field.

WHERE you are matters less now than ever before. You can be sharing photos from your basement apartment in Brooklyn, building a semi-conductor in your garage in Palo Alto, or leading a revolution in the streets of Egypt.

HOW you do what you do, matters less now than ever before. Doesn’t matter if you shoot it on a Panavision 35 or a HdSLR. It only matters that you did it.

What DOES matter is….

WHEN. If you don’t do it now, you might miss this amazing window.

and…

WHY. Why you do what you do always matters. Don’t even think of asking me to explain it.

    Thanks again Chase for the inspiration. The essence is that there are no more excuses. You cannot blame your education, reputation, location, etc., for not pursuing your passion. The only thing is the why- your passion, your drive, that burning desire in your soul to create. Or as Zack Arias puts it GOYA. Those who get off their asses and hustle will be successful. Period.

    Also, don’t feed the trolls. Shut up and shoot.
