Quotes to ponder:

“We put so much pressure on ourselves that we sucked all of the fun and excitement out of the very thing, the creative process, that we set out to cultivate.”

“Don’t add extra financial pressure to yourself that forces you to take creative shortcuts.”

“Judge your success by your effort, don’t allow the judgment of others to stop you.”
