When it comes to anything that involves creativity or just a way for a person to express oneself, its always important to establish a foundation of who you are, where you came from, as well as what path to take in this life you lead.
When it comes to any sort of art, its always important to remember your roots, your past, your background and yet most importantly, your identity.
How would you be able to achieve your dream/goal in life, if you're constantly heading down a path where you are just floating by from day to day, not knowing what direction you're heading nor where you stand?
Whatever a person does in life they should always remain true to oneself and never give into temptation or to the will of others, always stay GROUNDED to what you believe, regardless of what others say, if you follow the path in which your heart says 100%, how can you be wrong? In the end it'll either take you to the path of your dreams or an unforgettable adventure.
How would a person be able to rise up when even they themselves don't even have a proper footing in life? Regardless of what you choose in life, remember that only YOU have a say in where you'd like to be. Do you want to be known as an original individual or someone that copies the ideas and hard work of others?
If a time comes where it feels someone has ripped off your ideas and hard work then so be it, just remember how the old saying goes,
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime"
Someone who steals your hard work and ideas won't get far in life, what they took may last them a short amount of time in the spotlight but you are the one that's able to keep on shining in the long run through your creativity.
In the end, don't get mad, get even, be 10x more productive as well as 10x more creative and show the world what you have to offer, be original! You have a voice so use it! Think outside of the box and see where life takes you.
Don't Follow . LEAD!
