There’s a difference between the process of creating a work of art and the end result. If you are just looking for the end result with little to no regard in the creative experience, does being an artist really make you happy? If the answer is no, you might want to re-prioritize. You might be talented at your craft for example as a painter, landscaper, and actor. However, if you do not particularly enjoy what you are doing, it doesn’t hurt in your free time to reassess and figure out what it is you really want to do and build from there. If you love being an artist, that means you like every step of the process regardless of obstacles. You would not just be interested in the exposure of the end-result.
