Artists.

Working toward your craft whether it be writing, painting, music, etc the journey can sometimes feel too arduous. Your masterpiece might suddenly appear to be the worst thing you have ever seen if you are having an off day. In the next, it can be everything you imagined it to be.
Remind yourself that these moments will come, and—they will go.
It can get become easy to compare your work to other people’s incredible, amazing work. Stop doing this! Nobody will ever produce the same work you produce - EVER - bottom line. It’s just not possible. If you love your work, that’s all that matters. That’s all that matters.
And, for those of you who don’t know, J.K. Rowling, author of Harry Potter, used to be on welfare. She had two children and wrote Harry Potter while riding the bus. Her friends kept telling her to get a “real” job. She refused to listen to them. She told them she knew her writing would feed her family. She just knew it would.
A billion dollars later…
Don’t give up on your craft.
