"Over the years, I have learned this big truth, don’t wait for an  opportunity to change your current situation. Instead, convert each  situation into an opportunity to move forward. Yes, it’s a matter of perspective or, as my wife would say, it’s a mindset. The most successful artists are those who capitalize opportunities that did not exist before.
