Are you an artist among thieves do you have a lot of ideas that people criticize dismiss or shoot down as being silly have you ever been told when pursuing an idea or a project” I wish I had that kind of time on my hands “
are you an artist among thieves ???
do you want to write a book and people say what business do you have writing a book
do you take photographs and want to give them as gifts to your family and they say why do I want to picture of your dog in my living room
are you an artist among thieves ???
thieves try to steal your joy
thieves try to kill your dreams
they only want you to follow the societies norms to be conventional
artists among thieves are people who feel downtrodden disenfranchised living on the fringes of society never fully accepted for who they are
and even those artists to make it big who sell the book and get all the money who sell the script and get the movie made who write the songshow many of those artists are afflicted by alcohol and drugs how many of those artists end up committing suicide ???
the art that they create is valued but the artist him or herself is often NOT
what it takes out of a person to create a wonderful piece of art whether it’s a book a song a painting or drawing a photograph —
whatever it is it takes a lot out of a person and money being paid is not going to fill up your emotional savings account that’s not going to put joy back into your heart for money is not the answer
money is simply part of a transaction that takes place and those very people who have your book on their shelves are who have your painting on their walls or listen to your recording on the CD in their car as they drive to get their tooth pulled
what do they know of YOU the artist ?
are you an artist among thieves ?
you don’t have to be anymore you don’t ever have to be alone in your fears just remember fear is the opposite of faith
have faith in yourself have confidence in yourself believe in your self
you are the one that matters and if you believe in you are self then no thief can take anything from you
