Looking back, all my worst and most time-consuming work was always the ones where I was trying to simulate what’s been done before. The norm. What’s commonly accepted. I look back at my younger self and think, "What a waste of time." When I could’ve spent it all doing what I already knew was right and good. But I guess that’s part of the journey. You get your act straight only to find your recklessness was exactly the type of magic you needed, exactly the type of energy you were required to put out into the world. So, as Steve Jobs never said, “Stay hungry, stay reckless.”
