You are an Artist.

For all my Artist friends who find the struggle very constant.

First you are an Artist and the battle within with the “thief” will rage every day for as long as you desire more of yourself and more from your craft.

This is a creative journey that you are on and it is dangerous, not physically but personally.

The “thief” does not want criticism, or you pushing yourself further out into the unknown, doing exciting new original work, it prefers procrastination, double mindedness, indecision, apathy and copying, these it can live with because then you will be safe and accomplish very little.

This is not where the Artist lives, an Artist lives with the unknown every day, pushing boundaries and always wanting to get outside of their comfort zone.

It is a daily struggle, because then you know that you are on the right path, if the “thief” says, “No, don’t do that you will be criticised and laughed at” you say “Let’s go and do it and see what happens.”

Enjoy the journey you are blessed to be an Artist, create.

Artist be comfortable in your the quiet solitude with your muse and triumph in the every day wrestle with the “thief.”

You are indeed fortunate to be an Artist, rejoice.
