When I played high school soccer, we would ride the bus from our township to the other team's township. Our coaches would try and get us all fired up to win the game. What I thought was: someone's gotta lose the game. Why should it be them instead of us?
(It turns out this isn't necessarily true in soccer, but you get the larger point.)
How do people marshall their courage and just be something? Be an artist, be a writer? I need to figure that out.
