You Do Not Need To Be The Best To Be Good Enough
We are not all here to be award-winning musicians, and yet so many of us are here to make music.
We are not all here to be award winning musicians
And yet so many of us are here to make music
We are not all here to write bestsellers
And yet so many of us are still here to write
We are not all here to be beautiful
But we are here to make beauty
Somewhere in hearing “you can be anything”
we assumed that until we were the best of anything
we were nothing
And so this is your reminder —
Do not be afraid of insignificance
We are all insignificant to the world
And we are all stars of our own stories
If you are here to be an artist, you must create
Even if nobody understands your work
If you are here to be a musician, you must play
Even for an empty room
If you are here to be a poet, you must write
Even if nobody else reads it
Your purpose is not to see how much recognition you can get
It is to do it regardless
