If you were meant to cure cancer or write a symphony or crack cold fusion and you don't, you not only hurt yourself, even destroy yourself; you hurt your children. You hurt me. You hurt the planet. Creative work is not a selfish act or a bid for attention on the part of the actor. It's a gift to the world and every being in it. Don't cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you've got.
Stephen Pressfield, The War of Art
