Challenges
Everyday, we run into challenges - big and small. Everyday we decide if those challenges slow us down, stop us, or get solved. Why is it then, that after years of solving daily hurdles, we still get slowed down by any kind of issues?
This isn’t really art related, but making art, running a business, or just doing your best at work comes with a number of challenges, and your success and inevitable happiness follow your solving them. So, how do you not get stuck in a rut when these problems arise?
Long term goals. By having a north star, its much easier to reassemble yourself and keep moving forward.
Short term milestones. By having little targets along the way, its easier to manage bigger projects, and reward yourself for crossing certain milestones.
Humility. Its fine. Its always fine. Having a rough day? Well maybe today isn’t the day you knock it out of the park. That doesn’t mean you should try to work through challenges, but some days you will have to work through them in a different mindset. Do your best, and remember that life’s not a track meet, its a marathon.
