As you all can see, I have been away from my blog for quite
some time. Life sometimes hits you and
you have to roll with the punches. Once
we learn this lesson as artist, we are more likely to continue to pursue our
passion until we reach our desired success.
As artist, or for anyone in general, life quickly teaches us that
success does not come over night, nor does it normally come the way that we
expect that it should. Sometime we have to take detours or hiatuses. The key is
never giving up. We must readjust and
keep pushing. But as we continue to pursue our passions, there are things that
we can do to set ourselves up for success:
1: Believe that failure is not an option. Yes we have
setback and trials, but consider those moments to be lessons. Learn the lesson and use them to propel
yourself to the next level.
2: Understand that real success does not come
overnight. If you plan to be a thriving
artist, know that paying dues is a large part of the process. It prepares you for what’s to come. Would you give a child a set of
matches? No, because it could bring harm to the child and potentially others in close surroundings. The same applies in life sometimes we are not
ready to handle the pressure of success, so we must be tested and groomed to
handled the ensuing pressures that comes along with accomplishments.
3: Surround yourself with not only great supporters, but
also like-minded individuals that you can learn from and grow with. You want to surround yourself with individual
with similar goals and dreams.
So, if you’re facing a detour or feeling like a failure,
take the time to reflect and learn the lesson.
Then get back up with a renewed of strength and push onward. Remember, your success starts with your
thoughts, you profess it with your mouth, and it will eventually manifest in
your life.
