Fame Monster Or Fame Master?

School asks us a lot of questions, but not like these:

Are you comfortable with fame?

If you had instant fame tomorrow, how would you feel about it?

What ingredients are necessary to be famous?

Well, I know one thing, what we love grows, and what we ignore doesn’t, and I love fame.

And recently I’ve had some fame of my own. A Toronto artist, Pooneh Stad sketched a portrait of me, I was in a music video with rapper Famous and songstress Melanie Durrant, I was mentioned in the thank you section of Dave + Audley’s BasketBall Quotes Book, and I’m speaking to a sold-out group of creative entrepreneurs in two days.

How did I end up doing these things?

I didn’t use any tactics or techniques, I didn’t even use a ‘strategy.’

3 Ways To Be Cool With Fame

The amount of confusion and judgment about fame is pretty nuts. It seems like I can’t bring up one piece of pop-culture without people telling me how they "hate <blank>" about it, or "oh <blank> sucks, they should do something else," or "psssht, must be nice to be that <blank>"

It’s pretty played out, man. I stopped talking and thinking that way a long time ago, and now I’m just cool with success. If somebody feels good about their life and what they’re doing, why complain?

Here’s 3 things I’ve done to really get my mind, body, and soul prepared for fame. These are things most famous people have already done, but they don’t explain it and may not even be conscious of it. You’re getting the ideas provided to you clearly. Ready?
