Contemplation
Apr. 8th, 2003 10:37 pmRecently I mentioned to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
virusfox that I didn't get discouraged if I didn't achieve a goal on my list. I said it was because I knew I would get there eventually, that it was only a mater of time.
Well... I found an important subject where that didn't hold true. One of the things that's holding me back in my art skills is that I do get discouraged, and very quickly. I'm too hard on myself. And because I'm not happy with my results I "avoid".
Not fair. If I am going to claim that I don't get discouraged if I don't meet a goal, then I'm going to have to live up to my claim.
In the illumination of my ongoing enlightenment, I'm now going to have fun. I'll throw in a little "I don't care" as well. I don't care if it doesn't look as good as work by people for who have kept at it. How many times have we been told, or have we told others "your goals are found within yourself"?
Perhaps "enter the art room once a week" is too general a goal. I can do that looking for a cat. The revised goal is now "Create new Icons for LiveJournal."
