There’s a process to it that you’ve got to figure out for yourself. The mental barriers can be the toughest to overcome. Removal of these ties that bind people to existing mental or physical states requires discipline and mindfulness. Obstacles can exist mentally and physically, and can be imposed on us by others. And I loosely define work as anything that is occupying your time right now… aspects of your job, family time, hobbies, sports, etc.īeing creative, in any discipline, requires patience, discipline, and space. I work daily at the process of letting go in order to go to a place where I can focus on my work. This is generally accomplished by letting go of all preconceived notions, unlearning what you’ve learned, and developing a heightened awareness of what is going on around you. How many of us can say that we have done that in our lives? To be clear, I’m not talking about ignoring responsibilities, but rather freeing your mind. However, your success is partially determined on the ability to turn yourself over to your work. I believe that all people have the capacity to create art. The Call of the Wild is a story that I read as a child that still stands as one of my favorites. This ecstasy, this forgetfulness of living, comes to the artist, caught up and out of himself in a sheet of flame it comes to the soldier, war-mad in a stricken field and refusing quarter and it came to Buck, leading the pack, sounding the old wolf-cry, straining after the food that was alive and that fled swiftly before him through the moonlight.” And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive.
“There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise.
