Excuses: The lie that destroys your creative success

Claude Monet kept painting even as he went blind. Vincent Van Gogh kept making art in the insane asylum and despite the fact that he never sold a painting while he was alive. Miguel de Cervantes wrote Don Quixote in jail. Rick Allen from Def Leppard kept drumming after his arm was amputated. Sir Richard Branson built a huge empire despite, or maybe because of, severe dyslexia.
