Work
Hard, Stay Humble
Staying
humble I believe should be a necessity for everyone, including artists and
creative people. The more we grow and advance as artists the easier it is to
become prideful. I know this because it’s something I have experienced myself
over the years. There was a time I let my ego and pride get the best of me. And
I can admit that I suffered for it for a long period of time. Which totally
obstructed my character and kindness towards people. The crucial part of
overpowering your pride is to just humble yourself. Learn to become modest and
open your mind to new things. As you progress as an artist you should also
progress as a person. Work on developing your personality as you perfect your
craft.
The
first thing you should take into consideration is that “you’re not the best”. You
must admit to yourself that you don’t know it all and you make mistakes, just
like everyone else. There’s always going to be another person that is
potentially better than you. Learn to use that as motivation to progress
yourself, however be aware of comparison. When we start to compare our selves with
other people it can lead to arrogance. Secondly, don’t be afraid to admit your
failures, understanding your flaws as a creative individual is one of the best
things. It helps improve your craft and motivates you to become better. When we
confess our mistakes were able to admit to our ego that we are not perfect. Remember
to work hard and stay humble.
