July 27, 2010 Learning to understand the position you are in.
Prodding on the harp of emotional inconsistency
We are in a very strange world that seems to be intend on making us fearful and worried. Here’s just a few to make sure we are on the same page.
Worried about:
Mortgage. The Economy.Your children. Your income. Your lack of income. Taxes. Food. Your health. Your bills. Your credit cards. Your debt. The climate. The heat. The cold. The competition.
The world and that worry list seems to be endless and growing constantly.
Now to cap it all you have the nerve to want to try and do something that others often choose as a hobby; a luxury, fun thing to do to relax and here you are trying to make it into a profession.
“An artist.”
What a desired title that is nowadays… and yet how come some ‘artists’ don’t seem to create very often if EVER?! Do you still get to call yourself an artist if you never create?
Do you have what it takes?
Can you afford to do it?
Have you put in your 10,000 hours?
You may be surprised how close you are to actually making this something more than a dream, but are you working towards it?
Are you actively pursuing change? Noticeable change that others can recognize and support?
Don’t lie to them or yourself if you are not. Step up to the plate. Learn to understand the honor of this position you’ve been given with your gift and don’t use it as some lame way to get out of ‘getting a real job.’
Respect art…. and others in turn will learn to respect you in your profession.
