Defining Success

As an artist, do you ever get discouraged. . . ever feel like you are not accomplishing enough. . . not experiencing the growth you want, or expect to see in your work?
Then please consider this quote from “The Secret Life of Sunflowers” by Marta Molnar. “You succeed by not failing.”
Let’s think about that again.
You ARE succeeding when you do not fail to try. You ARE succeeding when you put in the time and effort to practice your craft and work towards whatever goal you have set for yourself. You ARE, in fact, accomplishing a level of success simply by setting those goals and striving to achieve them. Each time you take one more step forward (no matter how small) that IS a step forward and therefore is, in fact, success not failure. Failure only comes when you are no longer trying.
You ARE succeeding when you do not fail to try.
Think about it. It’s really pretty simple, right?
