If you don't mark your successes, the day your ship comes in could be just another day at the office, and there's no poetry in that.
You should make something. You should bring something into the world that wasn't in the world before. It doesn't matter what it is. It doesn't matter if it's a table or a film or gardening-everyone should create. You should do something, then sit back and say, 'I did that.'
Love doesn't grow on trees like apples in Eden - it's something you have to make. And you must use your imagination too.
