Persistence is essential for creative achievement from "summary" of The Creative Curve by Allen Gannett
Creativity is often romanticized as a sudden stroke of genius, an epiphany that strikes out of nowhere. However, the reality is that creative achievement is usually the result of persistent effort and hard work. The most successful creative individuals are not necessarily the most talented or gifted; they are the ones who keep pushing forward despite setbacks and challenges.
Persistence is what separates the dreamers from the doers, the wannabes from the actual achievers. It is the willingness to keep going even when things get difficult, even when it feels like success is out of reach. Without persistence, creative ideas remain just that - ideas floating around in the ether, never actualized into something tangible and meaningful.
Creative achievement requires dedication and commitment to the craft. It is about showing up every day, putting in the work, and not giving up when faced with obstacles. This mindset of persistence is what allows creative individuals to push through the inevitable failures and rejections that come with the territory.
Moreover, persistence is essential for honing one's creative skills and pushing past the initial stages of mediocrity. It takes time and effort to develop expertise in any field, and creative pursuits are no different. By persistently working at their craft, individuals can refine their skills, experiment with new ideas, and ultimately reach higher levels of creative achievement.
In the end, creative success is not about waiting for inspiration to strike; it is about putting in the hard work and effort required to bring ideas to life. Persistence is the key ingredient that transforms creative potential into actual achievement. It is the driving force behind every successful creative endeavor, guiding individuals through the ups and downs of the creative process. Without persistence, creative achievement remains just a distant dream, never fully realized.
