The answer should always be yourself.
Who are you working out, eating healthy, and getting in shape for? The girl next door? No! You’re doing it for yourself. You want to be healthy and live a long life.
Why are you working so hard on your art? You want to impress other people and prove you’re a great painter? No! You paint because you love it and want to keep honing your craft.
Are you starting a business and building a brand because you want recognition from your peers? You better not be! You should be doing that because it makes you happy and you want to love your work.
Stop doing things to impress people who don’t give a shit about you. People are way too busy focusing on themselves to care about what you’re doing.
Do what makes you happy, healthy, and successful. Whatever those definitions may be for you. It doesn’t matter what anyone else’s definitions are.
