Becoming an Artist
Charles
The artist that’s inside of all of us!
My mom always told me that “It’s not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.” So what makes people happy, what helps them enjoy life? Becoming an artist’s means different things to different people, you can become a painter, a dancer, a musician, a designer, an actor and so much more. Being an artist means following your heart and not listing to criticism from others. It’s what makes us who we are; it makes us comfortable, brings us peace during hard times and can put a smile on our face during a dark day. There are no limitations on what becoming an artist means. There is no book or law telling us what we have to become, or what we have to do with our lives. Express yourself, don’t be afraid to go wild and do things that others may think are crazy. We all have an artist inside of us, yes we may be afraid to show that side, yet it is important that we do because it will bring us true happiness and may bring happiness to others. So why become an artist? First we have to answer the question how are we artists. The answer is by doing what we do best, doing what makes us happy, by showing others the talent or talents that we have. “Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. (Schweitzer, Albert, Managing Business Ethics, 63).” Becoming an artist opens up so many doors and opportunities, it gives up the strength to break down was that we put up! Before we may have ignored a once in a lifetime opportunity because we were afraid to take a risk, but now with confidence and motivation from understanding our artistic abilities, we are less afraid to go out of comfort zone and try new things. A prime example of this is was during WWII. The Jewish community had all of their rights and freedom taken away from them; they were not allowed to express their religion or beliefs in any way. They were given
