Redefining Limiting Beliefs About Being A Starving Artist! - By: Talent Man

Contrary to popular belief you can be an artist and make a livable wage at the same time. Nearly all artist believe to their own detriment that they have to starve to be successful at their craft . They are convinced that pain, suffering and despair are needed to produce great works of art. This may be correct in some cases but I would like to pitch a competing idea that’s just as beneficial.

How would your career progress if you had all the funds you needed to accomplish your highest goals. How much finer of an actor would you be if you had abundant time and money to probe into acting the way you see it? How many more compelling photographs could you take if you had the independence and equipment you needed to capture the essence of life the way you see it? And Finally, how much more dazzling of a picture could you paint if you had the funds to choose any canvas you desired in which to symbolize the real meaning of life as it is revealed through you.

It is not the intention of this article to uproot the world’s reality out of your artistic discernment in exchange for financial gain. Although it is important to extinguish the belief that creativity equals bankruptcy. Some of the world’s greatest works of art and artistic performances have come from individuals who live outside the confinement of poverty and survival. These artisans are still able to generate great works of art that delight us all.

Do you conclude that living from a place of having freedom of the body, resources, health and property will stifle your creative nature? If so, I challenge you on that assumption . If you have been maintaining in survival mode continually trying to make ends meet I challenge you to develop a new view of the world where all your needs are met. A reality where you have all the resources you need to take your profession to it outermost reaches. After making that transition compare what it’s like to work from that exalted place of all your needs being met with living in the restricted place of toil and survival and decide which one you like best. If having piece of mind, security of body and more rewarding relationships with friends and family are too bothersome to bare then you can always go back to the distress.

You can be an performer or other type of artist and still have bread on your table. Having all your essentials taken care of does not kill creativity. You don’t have to cave into that old role of being a starving artist unless of course you want to. If you have never dwelled in that place of glory where all your needs are met; If you’ve never been in that place where you were able to express the creativity in your soul without the grip of being in survival mode; or if you’ve never had the opportunity to relax and refresh your creative batteries the way you see fit then I commend you to try it out. I advocate you explore what it’s like to have all your needs met while at the same time revealing the depths of your creative soul. If you like how it makes you feel then you can continue to grow from this point. If you need the conflict and hard experience that comes along with being in survival mode you can always draw back.
