This work ethic is what many children of wealth lack.

You are not alone!

Thank you so much for posting this. This is exactly what I needed to hear. I haven’t been able to have my art enterprise replace my day job just yet. It hurts when I compare myself to wealthy art school students that I’ve met, who don’t have to have day jobs like me, since their parents foot the bill. Your post reminded me that I need to stay focused on my own life, being present with where I am today and what I need to do for my situation personally. I really believe that doing so will help me get to where I want to be.

It really helped to hear this from someone as successful and smart as you. It helps to know that I’m not alone. Thank you so much for doing what you do. Looking forward to next week’s post!

Sincerely,
GS

After reading this post I took a brief lookback in my work from when I started to where I am now. I wouldn’t have called myself even accomplished at what I did, much less having a direction, or even a deep purpose.

Now I can say I have all those things, and more importantly with this growth I know there is more. As I go along I will refine my message, my works, and do even greater things!
