It gets easier to not like myself. It takes less time in the day for me to notice when I'm not liking who I am. The declaration doesn't necessarily mean i am any more deft at making the change necessary to feel better. The awareness is a good start. Ripped off the back of an envelope, the part you lick and in my black wallet tucked between receipts is a quote by Woody Allen: success is 80 percent action.
When i have time in my day, which i almost always have time in my day to do whatever it is.. and i don't do what makes me feel good, god damn, i gotta wonder, what is wrong with me.
Rip a page from the wisdom of water, gets shit done cause it moves. Gets results because of action. Same with a man and his goals, or dreams.
The prettiest kind of faith is the faith of the artist, blindly busting ahead, not really knowing if the direction they are going won't just turn into a dead-end at the edge of a cliff.
days into months that eventually mesh into years and any given day, the artist just doesn't know what, if anything of value will come of lines and smudge marks from charcoal on paper or words after a million more words.
it is the not knowing if all the hours will add up to a pat on the back that such a blind sacrifice moves someones souls, validates that i am okay. It is the unknowing that can intimidate an artist with a dream into believing it is all for not. Success is 80 percent action. So act like a river and lets cut into some rock.
peace out,
ken
