Release greatness

I'm going to release any desire of being great and instead simply create.

Creating something that's widely thought of as great or even good would certainly be a nice ego stroke but really it is so incredibly rare and so often leads to inactivity that we all should stop considering it altogether.

First of all, even when you have all the resources available making something that is widely thought of as good, let alone great is far from assured. Also, even if a huge percentage of people think something is great it doesn't at all guarantee that it's going to feel satisfying to you. Lastly, something being great is obviously subjective. There are countless books, songs or movies that are widely accepted as great that I don't care for at all.

So, that's it. We're all free. Free from the burden of trying to be great or good. Let's just create.

P.S. I would hope that it would go without saying that this by no means suggests you put anything less than all of yourself into everything you do.
