To some dA friends who are bettering their art. I often struggle with discipline, and have found these excerpts to give me a slightly different perspective on things, and have helped me to keep going.
“If we focus our energies and persist through boredom, we don’t just go into experience, we go through it; in the process, we learn far more about ourselves and our capacities than if we treat our lives as a sampler course.
“Discipline is a habit of doing just a little more, going just a little deeper, staying with something, pushing through it. Discipline recognizes that boredom means we’re just starting to ‘get it’.”
I’m sorry my internet issues are still not resolved, so have not been able to browse as freely as I’d like to. Still, I try to sneak by here and there, and cheer you in the background.
Truly enlightening and thought-provoking material. Thanks for posting it, Mika. Hope things are going well.
