Over the last few days I've been sucked into the world of spider solitaire. Yes, this game teaches logic, reasoning, and patience but, how does this relate to the arts?
To be an artist one must have a sense of obsessiveness. How can I expect to get a project done if I don't want to finish it? The odds are it will not get done and even if it does it will not be done to the full potential. The quality of obsessing can get me to accomplish a goal with a sense of determination. There are two different types of finish. One being the finish when I'm being hammered by someone. And another where I am the hammer on myself. When I have a sense of determination even the so called 'impossible' is possible and within my reach. Yes obsessing can have its downfall, but self motivation through obsession is key. Self motivation is what stands between myself and the mountain. I can be lead up by someone, or I can lead myself up. I am the one who gets to the top and I am the one who chooses when to go back, if to go back at all.
Maybe being the hammer of my life is the key to successes, maybe it isn't. Figuring out what works is high school, heck that is life. Life is only what it is made to be, nothing more and nothing less.
