I'm good at pretty much everything so when deciding what my place in the world is, I try to judge how the pursuit makes my chest feel. If my chest feels comfortable then in some way it works with my soul and if my chest feels tight then I am neglecting some part of myself. I try not to listen to my head because it's the kind of thing that I'll get lost in and lead me astray.
I think "fixing yourself," would improve every single thing you do. For me, everything in life falls into place naturally as long as I focus on my spiritual, physical, and mental well-being (which are all the same thing). All my skills and plans and relationships seem to improve by themselves, as if by coincidence, although I know it isn't coincidence. Problems I once had like an inability to focus or a lack of energy or a bad sleep schedule suddenly disappear; so, from my perspective, the only real way to approach life is by starting with taking care of the one thing you can, yourself. A few weeks ago I made a post "Trust only in the path. Abide only by the path. Seek only the path. Everything else will fall into place with it, so long as you follow along. Stray, and whatever you stray for will crumble to dust in your hands." This is what I meant by it. It helps too, when you become a person you can trust more than anyone else in the entire world.
>Would you say writers don't have that responsibility towards their audience in their creations?
I think art has, in a sense, a responsibility to be in some way true or real. This is what separates media from actual art to me, is media merely stimulates but art contains the essence of reality in a way that brings people back into the real world, and the better the art, the more it does that. Truly great works make life more vivid and honest after you finish them. But this responsibility is impossible to define or understand in an objective or factual way, this is not the case with crafts like design where it is very easy to objectively say "Oops the chair I made killed someone, I failed my responsibility."
