In your Art Practice, think like the Ant.#1

“Go to the ant”, to learn valuable lessons.

Ants teach us how to be self-motivated and self reliant.

No one carries a whip behind the ant to ensure the work gets done. There are no starting or finishing time in the anthill.

The ants are self-motivated, and need no boss to ensure they get their work done.

The ant use all the resources that they have at hand and do all they can to utilise them to the maximum.

1.Ants are resolute. (they never quit.)

“Consider her ways and be wise”.

Imagine that, “and be wise,” just like the ants are wise.

Have you noticed that the ant always finds a way.

The success of the ant depends on it its determination to succeed and it is relentless in it's activity, it is as if the ant never considers it will not succeed, failure is not an option.

No matter what the difficulty the Ant never gives up, it will always overcome.

When your survival depends on your success, then failure cannot be considered, so when an ant fails to achieve what it wants to do it just finds another way to do it and will keep trying to do it, as many different ways as possible until it finds a way, it is relentless.

If it cannot go round the mountain then it will go over it, if it cannot go over it, then it will go under it, if it not under it, then it will go through it, it finds a way, it never gives up.

If there is a road block up ahead then find another way to go.

Our resolve within our Art business must be to just do it.

Promising yourself you will never give up.

Do not promise others, only promise yourself and be accountable to yourself.

Keep painting until……….. it works.

Keep showing your paintings until……….. it works.

Pay the price until…………. it works.

Be patient until…………..… it works.

Never give up until………… it works.

Do you ever see an ant stand still?

Have you ever seen a relaxing ant, just chilling out?

They never stop moving.

They never stop doing and we must be the same.

Do what you can do.

Do the best you can do.

Be the best that you can be.

Be like the ant, realise that the work creates the opportunity.

Artists need to consider the ways of the ant, because the ant knows that the miracle is in the work.

Artists need to consider the ways of the ant and approach their Art practice in the same way, failure is not an option, so they must be relentless in what they do.

The ant is focused on success and what it must do to achieve it.

The ant does not consider it will fail, it cannot consider failure, it just keeps doing what is necessary until it finds a way over or around all obstacles, to make it work.

Be resolute, never give up and do what it takes to succeed.

Consider the ant and be wise.
