The pursuit of outward success or achievement is often driven by a longing to fill an internal void, to fix a sense of inadequacy. However, external success does not necessarily heal the inner struggles. To reset and address this void, it is recommended to seek help outside of the field of art and focus on personal development. Personal achievements, like producing a chart-topping album, may not bring the expected fulfillment or happiness, highlighting the importance of addressing internal challenges separately from external accomplishments.
