For the Creative Person - Keep the Channel Open
159My one-year Youtuberversary!
I thought it would be fun to revist my first video.
It has a message that really means a lot to me and I thought that I'd like to wrap it in slightly prettier packaging.
Many thanks to all who have helped me in the past 365 days.
I look forward to many, many more!
I got cocky and thought that I had this quote memorized, I paraphrased ever so slightly. Here is the full quote:
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique.
And If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expressions.
It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly. To keep the channel open.
You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work.
You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you.
Keep the channel open...
No artist is pleased...
There is no satisfaction whatever at anytime
There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction
a blessed unrest that keeps us marching
and makes us more alive than the others.
