You may never reach the summit; for that you will be forgiven. But if you don't make at least one serious attempt to get above the snow-line, years later you will find yourself lying on your deathbed, and all you will feel is emptiness...I've seen it so many times.
Call him Ted. A young kid in the big city, just off the bus, wanting to be a famous something: artist, writer, musician, film director, whatever. He's full of fire, full of passion, full of ideas. And you meet Ted again five or ten years later, and he's still tending bar at the same restaurant. He's not a kid anymore. But he's still no closer to his dream. His voice is still as defiant as ever, certainly, but there's an emptiness to his words that wasn't there before.
This is an excerpt from probably the best article I have ever read on creativity. You can read it here if you dare. Simply profound and masterfully written in parts. It's not a Christian article and does contain many offensive words and such but if you can throw out what is crude there is some amazing wisdom throughout.
