James Hype. Forget What You Think You're Capable Of

Fuck all the rules. Fuck all people's assumptions about what you can and can't do.

I was a local DJ. I used to play to 20 people, sometimes zero people. And I just kept on making mid, mid-level music until eventually I made something that people actually liked.

It literally changed my life.

So forget what you think you're capable of.

If you just work fucking hard and never take no for an answer, I think you can do it too.

What this actually means

other people's limits on you are not real. keep making the work until something lands, then keep going.

What to do today

Reading about it doesn't make you better. These do.
