Moday Motivation: Fantasy Edition

“Times for musicians are never good. In indefinable ways, musicians have a huge advantage over the rest of humanity: we work well independently, we take responsibility for ourselves, we have learned to defer gratification because learning anything of value takes a long time, and we usually do understand What It Takes.

There Are No Rules”
–Jonathan Bellman
