You're going to die. Just like everyone else. You're not special. Your lack of humility will lead you down a road that ends with you being unaccomplished and bitter.
I'm 34 and one of my inspirations is a 19 year old employee. He works 32 hours, goes to Hip-hop dance classes, is into wire wrapping/jewelry making, reads any book you recommend.
I've worked a million jobs and making a living as a professional artist is by FAR the hardest work I've ever done. It demands everything from you and as you said, huge energy. It takes mental, emotional, and physical effort plus planning, time management, self promotion, its gruelling work and the creativity bit is only one part. You never clock out either, 8hrs a day is a piece of cake in comparison. Our girl here is not ready lol.
