It’s easy to think that since you’re an artist and David Bowie was also an artist that the peak must be the same. That all artists have the same potential (and astronomical) peak.
But as reality has shown us time and again, most artists peak without breaking through the ceiling. The peak just isn’t big enough.
The project starts with excitement. That excitement turns into action. Action into magnetism. Magnetism into opportunities…and then comes the expectation that new and bigger opportunities will keep happening forever until you’ve surpassed your wildest dreams. But they don’t.
It’s confusing because the thing was on an upward trajectory. You were doing everything right, putting in the work, getting the desired results…and then the project peaks and all the equations that were working out in your favor stop.
It’s not fair but it’s true.
So not every project has the same peak but you’re also not beholden to one project forever.
