But you imagine yourself, so imagine you could, like this is a great exercise, by the way, a thought experiment of visualize your old self and visualize your young self and like just have a conversation with them. So I imagine like a 90 or 100-year-old visa person And I imagine a few different versions of them.

But one of them is like, Visa, I've been working my butt off for 50, 60 years, writing every day, and I have not achieved any great success. But I'm like, but did you love it? And he's like, yeah, I loved it. I love writing. I love playing with words. I made friends with other authors. We discussed things that were interesting. And it was a good life. I can visualize that.

If you told me something like, Well, imagine Visa being a software engineer and never really... I know I could do it if I wanted to. I don't want to, though. So find the struggle that you enjoy for its own sake and you don't mind not succeeding at. And then you have the energy to keep going.

And I guess define for yourself small victories that are victories to you, even if it's not victories to other people. And I found, you know, so I've been writing for a long time. There were things that I wrote like 10 years ago or like many years ago where nobody in my life then cared about my writing, but I thought it was good.

And then now, 10 plus years later, when I do have an audience, I can share that old stuff with my audience and they're like, whoa, this is really good. And I'm like, yeah, I know, right? You know?

you know so it's like if you are a success to yourself and no one else sees it but you have to see it right if and there's a quote for i think from les brown like if no one else will see it for you you have to see it for yourself like you have to be honest about what you think is good work what you think is this was worth doing i think this is worth doing i think this is worth struggling at and if no one else sees it i'm just i will see it for myself and then you try and find one other person who can see it and then another person and then another person right and then um

in that kind of mindset, I think, um, you can try to be cheerful about it. There's all these other, like, project management nitty-gritty stuff. So, like, don't attempt extremely large projects that might, like, sink your ship if you fail. You know, like, I think, uh, Nietzsche said something like, write a hundred, like, um,
