Subject: Marcus Aurelius quotes.
Today we look at more art food to feed our art inner game from our boy Marcus Aurelius.
1.”A man, when he has done a good act, does not call out for others to come and see, but he goes on another act, as a vine goes on to again produce the grapes in season.”
it’s shocking how relevant this is now in our day and age, Are you spending too much time on instagram and facebook hoping people would like your work? Instead of focusing on other people you’re better off working on your next big project and invest in the quality of the work.
2.”A setback has often cleared the way for greater prosperity. Many things have fallen only to rise to more exalted heights.”
Again, we are all so afraid to fail and let people know we’ve failed, Yet failing is REQUIRED for growth. Just step forward and expect failure, knowing that it’s part of the deal, this will keep you sane in your darkest days.
3.”Do not act as if you had ten thousand years to throw away.Death stands at your elbow. Be good for something while you live and it is in your power.”
Two of my family members has died this year, It’s a strong wake up call for me, I’ve chosen to be good in art. Yet it is hard at times. But I know if I keep throwing time(life) at it things are going to change.
That’s it for today, I woke up at 6 doing a painting and did a long tattoo section today, I have earned my sleep.
Keep Growing,
-Din
