| | As I begin to write to my many bloggers and browsers I thought I would begin with a subject thats near and dear to my heart. Throughout my entire creative history I've often heard the term 'starving artist' as if this is to be the mantra course of existence if you choose the path of pursuing your dreams as a naturally gifted person. Right here and now lets make the first group of distinctions, there are dreamers: those who never come to actions and there are those who are visionaries: those who act upon their thoughts and visions and can clearly see themselves in the places they dream of. Even a practical dreamer comes to action. Soooo ("what're you talk'in 'bout willis?) ... be realistic, Be honest with yourself, and above all put the thoughts into action! If an idea is worth anything its worth exploring to fruition. Reality says that if it comes to your head its possible for it to be and the thoughts would have never occured to you if you didn't posses all necessary to begin its accomplishment. If an Artist is starving you'll find its a person who has not come to action after the dreams and visualizations. Next point is get it out of your head! If you didn't write it down its not a plan or anything to become real. put it down on paper, get it out of your head, put it down record it sketch it out, this process of materialization when applied becomes an ignition to get something started and hopefully finished The point is to get started.
Avoid the "nay sayers" This is best done by studying and gathering all the published information about your activity. Not to win vain arguments but to fill your mental tool kit with stuff to help you along the journey. I recommend even comparing the references with each other for accuracy and clarity. Who can tell you best about the winning of the race the tortoise or the hare? Theres no such thing as a starving artist because every true artist has all that is necessary to generate new wealth and prosperity. Heres my closing thought: Think carefully about what it is you do. You literally pull thinking out of the air and process it mentally and develop it into something others can experience with their senses. An artist creates sights sounds tastes aromas experiences from the gift of focused imagination. A true artist has a full tool kit. the challenge is to get the developed raw goods to market and I'll be hitting on this as we move along. till next time theres your food for thought. No such thing as a "starving artist" Dr J
