Don’t look to others to lead you, "till your own land.”

 

In an ancient text it says, “He who tills his land will have plenty of food, But he who follows empty pursuits will have poverty in plenty.”

Those who work hard on their own land/Art business and not concern themselves with what others are doing, will prosper.

Consider your work, “tilling your ground” do not worry about what others are doing and saying be concerned with your Art business, otherwise you will be distracted from your work, from being diligent in your “field.”

Being like everyone else will not help you to stand out from the crowd and get attention, but it will make you accepted by the crowd.

If that is what you want, that is fine but you will only be a reflection of everyone else as they will be of you and your creative individuality is lost and so is your ability to stand out and get the attention of strangers.

The best way to help your peers, is not by everyone becoming the same, but by your example, being different and a leader to show others how to do it the right way.

Lead by example by working hard on your Art business, following your own vision and direction, “Till your own land,” and you will prosper.

Concentrate on your work, your Art, your creativity, your inspiration and paint you, do not be a reflection of others.

Original work comes from dedication and diligence following your own vision and imagination.

Prosperity comes from working single minded on your own business.

Paint your inspiration, don’t reflect someone else.

Paint your vision, not the ideas of well meaning friends.

Paint your imagination, not what the crowd is painting.

Be original not a reflection.

Be a leader, not a follower.

Be remarkable, don’t let others distract you, work hard on your Art business and prosper by your brush and your original ideas.
