The Excellence of Execution; The Artist’s Credo

The best chance you have if you want to rise to the top…Is to sacrifice yourself to loneliness, fear not the attempt at greatness nor the fall from grace, and have the mindset that hardest day you have slaved over your crafts perfection, was but a mirage, for harder days, sleepless nights, starving months, and famined years are surely ahead. Still continue on, for the award is a dream that is attainable… and beyond your wildest imagination. Understand that there is no such thing as a perfected craft…You are born of original sin so how can  anything created of this be perfection? Still strive for perfection so in death, you will become known as the enduring memory OF perfection. Confidence can be arrogance’s doppelganger, coupled with humility is known as the artistic trinity…still it is a fine line. Never arrogantly appoint yourself to greatness for karma is the eternal jester. Humbly accept praise for your works but have the silent arrogance to know the best of you has yet to come. Have the confidence in yourself to become greater than you already are. Writers, understand a piece is never finished until it is completed. When the pen and the mind meld as one, and there is nothing earthly to which you have created can be compared to, then you will understand what it means to be complete. Masterpiece. A piece is never finished until it is mastered… Able to understand you will not create a masterpiece is the final step in creating one naturally. Complete. Vocalists, let every note be said as it can only come from the heavens and felt as though it is only of heaven bound worthiness. Let every lyric have meaning and have meaning within meaning so to decipher simply is to be awed and thought of complicatedly. With this none will be able to top you because none will be able to conceivably verse you… Painters, let the colors within, paint what is unseen…what is unheard…what is unfelt. Understand life is the canvass, let your brush be constricted by not what is already in existence, but by what has not been drawn into the realm of existencey by you.  Picture yourself above any and all else, then you will paint as such. With this in hand you will rise …none will truly brush against you. As the days dwindle down you will have realized that life is based less on the knowledge you have ascertained but more on what you had inside of you from the beginning.

Understanding these things in the mortal life of an artist will beget the artist’s being immortalized until times end….
