There are celebrated artists and writers. How did they achieve all that and reach the heights? Consistency, they say. Positive attitude some say. Hardwork is another word we hear. Laymen say they are talented. Pessimists say they were where they should have been at the right time. Whatever it is, hope makes them what they turn out to be, I notice. The hope of becoming what they want to be while they continue to consistently perform with a positive attitude. There is no one way to reach the destination. Some are blessed to reach the destination in aeroplane. Some need to walk bare foot. Both need the perseverance to hold that success and make it their own. Also, it's important to adapt to the changing times. Maybe embrace the technological advancements also, as needed. Never say never.
I have been writing for 12 years while I know too well that nobody reads. I diligently post my art and craft videos though i hardly get any views. But that's okay. We need to do things that we like. Maybe we are unable to place ourselves in the larger domain. But these are opportunities to practice. Who knows? Some day everything will be paid off. Someday i will also be a celebrated artist and/or an acclaimed writer. What matters is that we never give up... The celebrated writers and artists never gave up... Why should we? Not until we lack imagination and creativity.
Let the hope supersede! Until then, let's celebrate ourselves... Let's be our own critics... Let's be our only audience... Let's just do what we like the most!
Grit is the factor that keeps you driving you and not your audience. The audience will either accept your or reject you but you keep doing what you feel is the best for you
