“We as artists chose this path because it’s hard. We pour our passions, our ideals, our dreams into the things we create. But sometimes that’s not enough. Passions lose steam and dreams get lost when the work gets too hard. When that happens, we can get very frustrated – and that can either destroy you….or become the greatest asset you’ve ever had as an artist. The men and women of the Apollo space program undoubtedly became frustrated at times. But they chose to use that to push them forward.” – via Save the Artist
I wrote those words a few weeks ago and it’s amazing how many times I keep coming back to them. Frustration sucks but it’s a good thing in the long run.
