An Artist?

“An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one.” -Charles Horton Cooley

Do you know what makes you an artist? I'm serious! Do you know?

A lot of people give pursing art a bad rap because they don't understand what an artist even is. It is a legitimate career path that comes with similar struggles to those of the more socially accepted. Maybe reframing the title to "creative entrepreneur" would be better received? 😅 All jokes aside, being an artist is something worth striving for, and it takes a few qualities to make it happen.
