If


If we only had the right pen, room, lighting, computer, car, house, friends, family, mentors, schedule, leaders, associates, office, phone, music, books, goals, plans, sponsors, teachers, data, stationery, chair, neighbors, degrees, connections, weather, priorities, benefits, coffee, clothes, hair, diet, parents, timing, skills or hobbies . . . we could really achieve something.

But if any one of those is missing, well, you know, we're sort of doomed.

I used to be a slave to waiting for the perfect moment, the perfect tools. Then I saw an interview with Chuck Close. Snapped me right out of it... Forever! -- Barry

“Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightening to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself.”
― Chuck Close

It gets back to "The best is the enemy of the good" observation.
