For most artists, how one engages with the world outside of one’s creative place can be very confused and unsatisfying Often the outside world swamps the sanctuary of the creative self. Thus, when it comes to actively choosing to connect with the world in a successful manner, it is understandable that there maybe self sabotage at work.
When an artist considers what it means to be successful, there are numerous aspects to success. These include the ability to have:
~ Clear focus and expression.
~ Choice, in where you attend and in the invitation you make in the world.
~ Self awareness and honesty about who you are and your limits.
~ Authenticity in what you express [...]
So, when someone walks thru your door, if it is possible for you- treasure that moment as an invitation to connect. You have the opportunity to offer the clarity of your expression, of your work and to share that with another, to be you in the world, unapologetically.
“The third culture consists of those scientists and other thinkers in the empirical world who, through their work and expository writing, are taking the place of the traditional intellectual in rendering visible the deeper meanings of our lives, redefining who & what we are. ”
