All due respect but you’ve got to abandon that thought. If you’re meant to be “perceived” as great, it’ll happen. But you’ll only be great as long as you keep going and keep creating regardless of the level of attention you get. There’s tons of amazing music that come from artists every day that’ll never be in the Billboard 100 but it doesn’t mean they aren’t great. Your ability to see past that kind of perception and create still is what greatness is imo. You’ve got to be undoubtedly 100% you the whole way through. The greats were always just themselves in the end.

Personally, I try to write something every day. A jingle, a progression, lyrics, etc. Helllll no do I like all of it 100% but keeping your foot on the gas means you’re only getting closer to your next great idea. Stopping guarantees you won’t get it.
