Writer Within

In his inspirational essay The Excellent Writer Within, Michael Levy suggests that all humans can become great writers, poets, musicians and/or artists. He pinpoints limiting self doubts as the culprit holding back our creativity. Furthermore, he says:

Just writing worthy, meaningful, literature will not get the success it deserves unless we possess the resolve to carry on writing in spite of the critics. There will always be those who criticize a writer, no matter how good the composition. Rejection is an everyday experience for most writers. This is a joy we must accept and grow from. Just because someone does not like our essay, does not mean it has no value. It means it was not acceptable to the editor or book reviewer that was reading the essay.

One of the steps to success he suggests is detaching from the outcome and living (and writing) with JOY:
Just
Obey
Yourself.
