Commercialism is only bad when it hurts people or otherwise causes harm. It's good when it allows you to contribute to the world and keep growing towards bigger and better things. Striving for greatness is not snobbery, even though others might perceive it that way. Ultimately it's about what's going on inside you that's important to your own journey. And laziness--you would not believe, if I told you, the constant struggles I have with my own laziness. Don't let the laziness win! I often find it's more productive to re-direct energy you're already spending than to try and find more energy. You are amazingly talented in so many ways, and I always enjoy seeing everything that you produce. Thanks Patrick~ My take on it is this.

I've been struggling with pushing forward with my work and using my fears of commercialism and snobbery as a scapegoat for my own laziness. Keep up the great work, your perseverance is a constant inspiration! Thanks Cedar, its nice to read this right now.
