I wish I could just relax sometimes and make some money, but I always feel like I have to prove some kind of big, profound point.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do feel at times like I'm always proving myself. But I also feel that I'm proven. I've proven I can get to the mountaintop.
I have found that what drives me is the desire to prove, to myself and to my peers, that I can do what I set out to do and build something that matters.
I just feel like I have a lot to prove.
All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy.
I certainly have the problem of focusing on doing everything now to get where I want to be, and not actually seeing and taking in and appreciating what's right in front of me or who's right in front of me.
What is happening now to me in my career is amazing, so I dwell on the things that are happening rather than the things that aren't, because what's the point? It doesn't make them happen.
Then I sit down, work at it, because now I have a convincing feeling about what that place wants to be, you see? And it's not just me. Me and my talent comes in taking that consensus and then making something wonderful out of it - a work of art.
I've gotten to a point, where I realize that happiness doesn't come from the outside.
I don't have anything to prove anymore. I can relax.
I just work - however people feel about it, I mean, at the end of the day, if I'm waiting for accolades, I could be waiting all my life, but I don't need that stuff to validate me. I just do what makes me happy.
