When you thwart what’s real about you in order to keep creating content for
financial need, you’re just not gonna make it. You’re not gonna keep going. You
have your number. It’s very dangerous to be liked by more people than should
like you. It’s bad for them, and it’s bad for you. There’s gonna be a shock down
the road for them, or you’re gonna dilute yourself and take yourself to a place
where you can’t live with who you are. I think that you make an honest account
of who you are and you live with the results. The results will be appropriate to
who you are… If you’re saying things just to piss people off, then I don’t know
why do it. If you’re saying things just to please people, that’s a short-lived
victory. But if you just say the things you believe, and the things you like to
say, and that mean something to you — if you stay close to the gut — then
everything will work itself out.
