This is great advice, particularly to the sort of people who are always waiting for the "freedom" to pursue whatever it is they're trying to pursue. You have to make your own time, and you have to be persistent as hell. The right time will never present itself. The universe will never press a cosmic pause button on all of your life's distractions and needs. Consider: - Bukowski spent many years trying to get published, failed, developed a severe drinking problem, and took up a progression of itinerant jobs. But he gave writing another shot while lying in a hospital bed, having nearly drunk himself to death. At the time, he was working in a post office. - Albert Einstein failed to land a prestigious academic position and took up a day job as an assistant patent examiner. He and his friends pursued scientific projects on nights and weekends. - Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling created her famous series as a single, working mother on welfare. She worked out of train stations and coffee shops, often on the verge of homelessness. - Actor Jack Nicholson went on over 300 auditions before landing his first significant role. - Johnny Depp spent his days as a telemarketer, selling office supplies. He carved out nights and weekends to practice his craft and look for opportunities. - Joseph Heller, author of Catch-22, worked at an advertising agency by day. Three hours a night, for eight years straight, he worked on his book before submitting it to a publisher. Only the very fortunate have the ability to drop everything and pursue their creative dreams. Everyone else has to pay the bills somehow, and carve out the "right time" when and where they can.
