Aint nothin' new gonna be said. Every note that there ever will be has been played, every color one could hope to put on canvas (or base of your choice) has been put there.
Books have been written, speeches given and songs composed. Basically it's the same stuff with a new marketing twist.
I used to think, "Man, the Beatles did Abbey Road, how could it get better... why would people bother trying to be better than that!?" Depending on your preference, the Bible, Torah or Koran, Tao de Ching, etc. have been written. What other wisdom is there. There aren't gonna be any new fundamentals...
The truth is not everyone likes The Beatles, and even though whatever you do has probably been done many times over, what the world needs is you, now.
Your way of speaking, your combination of colors, your unique perspective, your notes, spaces, chords and tempo, texture... we need you!
No wanna-be reheated version of Tony Robbins, John Lennon, Poe, or even Raphael will get the job done. What the world needs is you -stripped of the unessential nonsense yet out loud and inspired.
The faithful expression of your true identity is what will give you peace now, inspire others... and if you create for a living, we all do... it's what will sell.
Be Good-Do Great,
RR
