13. Never compare your inside with somebody else’s outside.

The more you practice your craft, the less you confuse worldly rewards with spiritual rewards, and vice versa. Even if your path never makes any money or furthers your career, that’s still worth a TON.

14. The idea doesn’t have to be big. It just has to change the world.

The two are not the same thing.

Hugh over at gapingvoid.com has one of the best discussions going on about how to be creative. Part of what makes it wonderful are the many comments posted on the initial page and the ongoing shaping of the individual points. It was hard to choose something to quote here, but I chose the last two points. The first says a lot to me about why it’s important that your validation comes from inside. The path is as important as the destination. The second is a recent addition and I may have to print it out large and put it over my work room door.

Thanks Hugh!
