My nephew just turned 16. It’s crazy how time flies. I gifted him a book called ‘The War of Art’ by Steven Pressfield. One I’ve grown to love over the years since firsts being told about it. It’s a quick read, and I highly recommend it. Here is one of my favorite quotes,

“We fear discovering that we are more than we think we are. More than our parents/children/teachers think we are. We fear that we actually possess the talent that our still, small voice tells us. That we actually have the guts, the perseverance, the capacity. We fear that we truly can steer our ship, plant our flag, reach our Promised Land. We fear this because, if it’s true, then we become estranged from all we know. We pass through a membrane. We become monsters and monstrous.”
