Today on the way home I read the stickers on the back of someone’s car. There were two.
The one on the right said: Experience joy now.
The second, on the left said: Those who abandon their dreams with discourage you.
On arriving home I opened my e-mails to a correspondence from my daughter that included a quotation from Henry Ford: "Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal."
The message was clear. As artists, or for anyone, we have to remain focused whoever we are, to achieve our desired goals.
That focus involves not just remaining committed to the work required to manifest our dreams, but also that we keep the visions of those dreams planted before us. We must not lose connection with the insights and prophecies delivered in our dreams whether delivered at night or during the days of our working.
When we set our hearts and minds with intents of integrity, we must bring forth those good works—follow through on the vows we have made to ourselves. We cannot abandon ourselves in the midst of those who might throw us questioning glares and view our ideas from askance, or worse yet, hurl at us words of distraction—words developed and formed in the wake of abandoning their own dreams or having been too afraid to establish any.
For if we stop and listen we will most definitely become like them, the crazy makers who in having lost their faith and will to hope, can do nothing but dismantle ours.
