"You don't start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it's good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That's why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence."
Practicing any of the arts takes patience and persistence. Nothing happens overnight. Many people quit too soon. They become frustrated because what they produce does not match what is in their imagination. And this quitting begins early in life. Today I saw a four-year old girl who was working on a painting of the ocean became frustrated because the painting did not match what was in her mind. She burst into tears. Has this happened to you? Do you become so frustrated that you quit? Do you give up on your work?

Many creative leaders don't live in the here and now. They are always looking forward to tomorrow when they sell their first book or have their first gallery showing or have enough money to create their works of art full time. They spend most of their time in the future and ignore the beauty around them. They are not grateful for what they have and the people in their lives. They want to be where they are not. Then one day they wake up and life has past them by and they have grown old and there is no tomorrow where they can dwell.
Are you living in the world of tomorrow? Or are you living in the now? Are you grateful for what you have and what you have been given? Or are you seeking new opportunities, living in a time beyond time where only dreams exist?
I am not saying that one should not have goals or dreams. Both are necessary for living. We just shouldn't spend all our time there. We need to appreciate where we are now and what we can learn from this moment in our lives. We need to enjoy the people in our lives and appreciate their friendship and love. Don't let your impatience for success keep you from enjoying the moment.
Take a few minutes to watch this video and listen to the words of David Steindl-Rast.

"May you wait patiently for your success with the belief and confidence that it will come."
— Harley King
American Speaker/Poet
1949 -
Many of us are impatient. We can't wait. We are in a hurry. Yet success has its own timetable. You can't hurry it. So develop patience and have faith that when the time is right you will receive your moment in the sun. Enjoy the moment. Enjoy the present. Don't worry about tomorrow.
Here are three of my short poems written in 2011.
What color
are your dreams,
my friend?
Bright blue?
Midnight red?
A thin pink?
I gather my fears in my hands.
###
I've grown old
with doubt,
a finger of time
between clouds
of darkness.
I open my mouth
and swallow the wind.
###
I am
the moon,
a faded light,
a distant dream.
Hold me
in your arms
that I may be free.

Where have you cast your hook? Do you keep your fishing hook in the water or is it hanging in your garage? Catching fish takes patience and being prepared? Are you ready to catch the big one or will it get away?

"Some give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; while others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before."
The one trait that every writer, painter and musician needs is persistence. Without persistence and determination, most creative people will quit before they are successful. People often give up too soon. They forget that the night is the darkest just before the dawn. When every things appears to be lost that is the time to push the hardest — to exert that extra effort.
Most successful artists and writers throughout history have understood the power of persistence. Herodotus said it more than 2500 years ago and nothing has changed. You still need persistence to be a winner — to be successful. The world is full of obstacles and naysayers. It takes persistence to find a way around or through the obstacles. Don't give up on your dreams and hopes.
