David Bowie And Feeling Safe

I have a book releasing tomorrow.
I took risks yet again
with this book.
Readers could love it
or they could hate it.

Thinking about it
makes me a little
sick to my stomach.

Whenever I feel like this,
I know I’m doing work
that matters.

David Bowie
shared

“The other thing I would say is
that if you feel safe
in the area you’re working in,
you’re not working in the right area.

Always go a little further
into the water
than you feel you’re capable
of being in,
go a little out of your depth,
and when you don’t feel that
your feet are quite touching the bottom,
you’re just about
in the right place
to do something exciting.”

If you feel safe,
you’re not pushing yourself.
Take some risks.
Change the world.
