When I said that I wanted to be an artist, I didn’t know how to define “artist”, until I came across this definition by Steven Pressfield in his book The War of Art:
“… His culture possesses affluence, stability, enough excess of resource to permit the luxury of self-examination. The artist is grounded in freedom. He is not afraid of it. He is lucky. He was born in the right place. He has a core of self-confidence, of hope for the future. He believes in progress and evolution. His faith is that humankind is advancing, however haltingly and imperfectly, toward a better world.”
So, do you think you are an artist?
If you think this is worth sharing, do share it with your friends. Thank you for reading.
