What gift do you bring for your people?…The gift is the product of the hero’s solitary suffering.*
Steven Pressfield
I came here, and, well, I’ve been here ever since. The moral of this cautionary tale is: if you want to do something, you’d better watch out, because you might just end up doing it for the rest of your life!**
Josef DeCoux
Passion–
The original sort
as in
suffering and
enduring–
The thing you cannot
not do
with all your heart
and energy, all your curiosity
and imagination
and creativity–
