Are you in love with what you produce????
In the final summation, are you proud of your work?
To work with intensity and a purpose is crucial; do not think that simply externalizing
any image without a feeling of sincerity, commitment or understanding is professional,
art work. To produce simply to make money, (if that is possible) by creating commercial
work of a meaningless quality, is trivializing talent. True, one must eat, but one must
operate with a modicum of pride. To create with the idea that one will be instantly
successful in any field, with mediocre work, is defacing one's own image.
There is hope in all work done when it is created with the heart. With love of one's own
vision and a deep desire to share it directly with others, the individual may rise above
the fray. One must live ideals to regurgitate them. Do not use your work as a soapbox
opera; be sure what you are saying is truly meaningful to you and profoundly held.
Nothing insincere will survive.
