worship your art

Take a few seconds out and think about the work you do. Why do you do it? What are your motivations behind doing it? 

If you ask the same question to any of the most successful people out there who are constantly refining their craft — no matter what their chosen line of work is — they’ll say they do it because they love it and just can’t imagine staying away from it. They’re good at it and constantly want to become better at it. They enjoy putting their art on display to the public and spending time with like-minded folks. They thrive on connecting with people who appreciate their appreciation of the art. What they do makes them feel alive and they simply can’t not do it. It invigorates them and brings them immense joy and satisfaction.

People who are dedicated to their craft don’t think of their work as work. According to them, it’s one of the supreme forms of action that they participate in. Their work is not something that they have to do, it’s something that they get to do every single day. It’s not slavery or bondage in any shape or form. In fact, it’s something that they chose out of their will. 

Whatever art you engage in, do you lose track of time when you do it? Are you constantly looking for pockets of time during the day to practice it? Is it possible for you to give your best every single day, to simply trust the process and let the chips fall wherever they may? If the answer is yes, then you’re on the right track. Keep on going, worship your art, and become an exceptional craftsman.
