The every day wrestle.

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

The “thief” does not want you pushing yourself further out into the unknown, doing exciting new original work, it prefers procrastination, double mindedness, indecision, apathy and copying and especially excuses, the thief is a master at excuses, 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?”

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

Let the thief be your guide, when it says, “no” you say, “ lets go.”
