Today I want to share with you my thoughts and perseverance, and why it’s one of THE MOST IMPORTANT things.
Perseverance & Giving Yourself a Chance
I usually plan out my podcast episodes, or I have something specific to say.
This time I was preparing to start recording, and suddenly perseverance popped into my mind.
I immediately thought of it in the context if – success takes TIME. If you are not willing to persevere and try again and again, you’ll never make it.
Perseverance is Important in Both BUSINESS and ART
The reason why I talk a lot about these topics is that, this is really what’s on my mind most of the time. This has been the case for the past 1-2 years, if not longer.
In my watercolor journey, I can really sense the importance of persevering. There were MANY times I got punched in the face by the medium.
I was on a roll (painting a few nice artworks), and then found out I suddenly have ZERO control over the paint.
I went through tough challenges.
Had I not continued regardless, I could never win. And I’m only just now starting to win.
Business is TOUGH
That’s another thing I’m coming to terms lately. Building wealth, financial and business success is hard. It takes a lot of effort, making mistakes along the way and continuing regardless.
This is something I had to learn the hard way. I’m not sure how to put it in words, so I’ll just say this: There is no finish line.
There’s never that point that you get to – that you can really say – I’m done and can rest now. Work always continues, and it’s all a part of one long process.
Hedging it!
I’d like to give one caveat.
I think it’s important to do things smartly. If you’ve been doing something for a LOOONG time and you don’t see results, maybe it’s a good idea to try something else.
Or, at the very least – realize you may not achieve everything you wanted in that area. But if you enjoy it – I’ll be your biggest supporter.
I think this requires looking inside and figuring out what you want, what the results are and what the best course of action is.
I Got Lucky!
The first book I published on Amazon started selling the next day.
That’s insane.
I don’t know what would’ve happened had that not been the case.
Would I have published three more books? Would I have continued? Or may I’d just quit and “go get a job”.
Who knows? For now, all I can do is be super-grateful for the success I WAS able to achieve so far.
And that’s a good note to move onto the Artist Corner (;
Artist Corner
Today I presented Stanislaw Zoladz. He is a Polish painter living in Sweden.
His style is realistic, with some expressionism thrown in on some of his work. I absolutely love it.
Here’s one of my favorite painting of his.
I also found this interview I recommend you check out – Stanislaw Zoladz Interview.
