The Long Game

Yesterday morning, my usually limited Twitter excursions brought the following video essays to my attention. I share them with you in the hopes that they will encourage you just as they encouraged me.

Remember, people: when it comes to success or "making it", there are no equations. There are no formulas. There are no hard-and-fast rules aside from hard work, diligence, passion, tenacity, and a love for what you do and wanting to do it better. If you are an artist, an entrepreneur, or any other kind of big dreamer, always fight the urge to believe that the things you are chasing after should come to you quickly. 

So, without any further ado, I present to you The Long Game, by Delve:

"...because words are too small."

“Men’s tongues fork at birth. It has always been so. The bird cannot lie. The lion is a hunter, to be feared, yes, but he is true to his nature. The tree and rock are true – they are a tree and rock. Nothing more, but nothing less. But man, the only creature who can make words – uses this great gift to betray truth, to betray himself, to betray nature and God. He will point to a tree and tell you it is not a tree, stand over your dead body and say he did not kill you. Words, you see, speak for the brain, and the brain is a machine. Music” – he smiled his glorious smile raised his index finger – “music speaks for the soul because words are too small.”
