“The goal here is to build a life that makes creating your best work not only possible but inevitable. And so, we must exchange this idea of a Starving Artist with a new term: Thriving Artist. If you don’t want your best work to die with you, you must train yourself to think and live differently than the ways we’ve been told artists behave. Don’t starve for your art. Help it thrive.” (Jeff Goins, Real Artists Don’t Starve)
Creating your best work is not just a goal; it’s a necessity for a fulfilling life. Jeff Goins’ quote, “The goal here is to build a life that makes creating your best work not only possible but inevitable,” highlights the importance of transforming the mindset of an artist.
Instead of the outdated notion of a starving artist, we should embrace the concept of a thriving artist.
This shift requires us to think and live differently, focusing on nurturing and sustaining our creative talents. By doing so, we ensure that our best work continues to inspire and resonate long after we’ve passed away.
Remember, starving for art is not the path to greatness; it’s a recipe for failure.
Help your art thrive, and watch it flourish into something extraordinary.
