If you have an interest or passion for something and want to make progress in it, here are a couple of tips that might help:
1) Take care of yourself. That's the first thing. If your health suffers, you won't have the energy to pursue your interest.
2) Work hard. No matter how talented you are, there is an infinite distance to cover ahead. That's the beauty of knowledge in any field. It's endless. There's always a new composition to compose, always a new painting to paint, always a new scientific question to ask. So wherever you are in your journey right now, hard work needs to stay with you right till the end.
3) Stay authentic. Stay real. Everyone figures out when you are fudging :).
4) Stay humble :). No one likes arrogant pricks. No one :).
5) Stay alert. Jealousy is the bane of the human species. When you start to get good at something, don't be surprised if attempts to trip your journey start alongside. Not everyone has the maturity to simply acknowledge that someone else is better and just appreciate him or her (and maybe learn from them and improve oneself :)). It's sad that it's this way but that's just how it is :). So *you* need to stay alert and keep making progress.
6) Keep an open mind to suggestions that come your way but at the end of the day do what you are convinced about. It's *your* life, it's *your* passion you are pursuing, and it's expression needs to be authentically *yours*.
