A short motivational monologue advising creators that their personal dreams and deep work will not be understood or liked by everyone; it explains that sensitivity to criticism often prevents people from sharing their work and entering "real progress mode," and urges acceptance of that tradeoff and courage to publish one’s creations.
Have you been working on something, on your dreams? And you honestly, you're like, is this gonna work out? Do people like this? Am I just in my head? See, the more you have that desire to go deep in life to develop real expertise or skill, the more you tend to be actually humble. You recognize, like, this might be a little geeky. This might be too much. You know, regular people might not get this. And you know that about yourself, right? If you're making a great painting, you might see the vision of it. But you know there's gonna be a lot of people walking by in that gallery, and they're like, hell is that. You have to have a vision that is uniquely your own. And you know, a lot of people walking by are going to go, that painting sucks. You have to know that. And because you know that about yourself, you can also be very sensitive about it. Many of you have never entered real progress mode in your life because you're so sensitive about your creations and your art that you hold them back. You never put it out there. You never put it up on the wall because it does scare you that people might hate it.
