Be willing to sacrifice for your art from "summary" of The War of Art by Steven Pressfield
The artist committing to their craft must be prepared to make sacrifices. This is not negotiable. It's not a choice, but a requirement, a necessary part of the journey towards creating meaningful work. It's about prioritizing one's art above all else, above comfort, above security, above the opinions of others. Sacrifice means giving up certain luxuries, conveniences, and even relationships that may hinder the artist's creative process. It's about being willing to endure hardship, to face rejection, to confront failure, all for the sake of one's art. Sacrifice is what separates the amateur from the professional, the hobbyist from the dedicated artist. The artist must be willing to sacrifice their time, their energy, their resources, in order to fully commit to their craft. This may mean cutting out distractions, setting aside other obligations, and making difficult choices that prioritize their art above all else. It's about making tough decisions and being willing to make sacrifices in pursuit of one's creative vision. Sacrifice is not easy. It requires discipline, determination, and a willingness to endure discomfort. But it is essential for the artist who wants to truly achieve greatness in their work. It's about embracing the challenges, embracing the struggles, and being willing to make sacrifices in order to reach one's full creative potential. In the end, sacrifice is about dedication. It's about showing up every day, putting in the work, and being willing to do whatever it takes to make your art a reality. It's about committing fully to your craft, no matter the cost. Sacrifice is not just a concept; it's a way of life for the artist who is truly dedicated to their art.
