​There will most likely come a time when you will have to make something from nothing in pursuit of your goals and aspirations. It almost like a rite of passage, especially for creatives, and is definitely not to be frowned upon. But once the quality of your work improves to the point where either you no longer need to, or the quality of your work is hindered by the equipment/materials available, it's only natural that you make accommodations accordingly as you progress. A few examples: if an architect constructs a house, but the only material he/she is able to afford is shit, it may be the most beautiful home ever, and is certainly by now means reflective of that person's skills/capabilities as an architect, but at the end of the day, the house is still made of shit. It still has less value than a structure identical to it in every way, other than the proper change in materials it was made with. Similarly, if you're a singer/artist known by everyone in your small hometown with a population of 200, with interests in growing, the next logical step would be to move to a larger market to present your work to more people, because the king of the hill is still only the king of a hill, not a mountain, not a city, not a country; their reach doesn't extend beyond that hill. Once you no longer need training wheels, you take them off, because their no longer necessary. Keep in mind that if you're not growing, you're dying. Assess your progress with a critical eye and if you see yourself settling for complacency well enough to tell the difference. Remember that things don't have to be the way they are, and that there is always room for improvement if you just keep your eyes focused on the bigger picture we discussed last week.
