HOW TO FEEL MISERABLE AS AN ARTIST (sound advice)

Good day everyone!
I saw this on another blog and just HAD to share it. I love it!

HOW TO FEEL MISERABLE AS AN ARTIST
(OR WHAT NOT TO DO, UNDERLINE ANY TH AT CURRENTLY APPLY)


CONSTANTLY COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHER ARTISTS.

TALK TO YOUR FAMILY ABOUT WHAT YOU DO AND EXPECT THEM TO CHEER YOU ON.

BASE THE SUCCESS OF YOUR ENTIRE CAREER ON ONE PROJECT.

STICK WITH WHAT YOU KNOW.

UNDERVALUE YOUR EXPERTISE.

LET MONEY DICTATE WHAT YOU DO.

BOW TO SOCIAL PRESSURES

ONLY DO WORK THAT YOUR FAMILY WOULD LOVE
DO WHATEVER THE CLIENT/CUSTOMER/GALLERY OWNER/PATRON/INVESTOR ASKS.

SET UNACHIEVABLE/OVERWHELMING GOALS...TO BE ACCOMPLISHED BY TOMORROW

I hope this sets all of us on the path to artistic freedom. :)

Hugs!
