Avoid the Wheel

In art, as in most anything in life we go through appraisals, reviews and more. Perseverance and focus play an important role in putting your work out there.  Being apathetic, lazy or bored is not an option.  It is not always easy and sometimes not very pleasant either, to have someone express a negative, offhand or even hurtful comment about your work or disrespect you personally.  If we break down, hide under the covers or try to change our inner vision we fail on a grand scale.  When this happens repeatedly and becomes a way of life I call it 'being stuck on the wheel of mediocrity'.  No one who has achieved greatness was a quitter or a slacker.  I am sure you all know of people from Einstein to those in the arts who have been through this.  If I have moments of doubt that phrase comes to mind and kicks me out of it.  I would rather make my mark, or even attempt and have to try again than live a life stuck on the Wheel of Mediocrity.
