For many people, not just visual artists, have several failures along with not as many sales as desired. Just because you haven’t had the sales up to today doesn’t make you a lifetime failure. What others think isn’t your destination and most of the time. those who have the most opinion have no influene in your outcome.
When you look at others and their point of view, Examine what is their position on how they view life. A big example is how they are living, family, and relationships. Do you want to take advice from someone who doesn’t have the life you are seeking?
Each failure equals a lesson learned. Don’t measure anyone else in how much failure and success other have had as a vehicle for jealousy or a weapon to beat yourself up. You are at your own.pace. Stick to your mission you sat out to do. Build yourself up with honesty to accomplish more each day. This is your life you are the producer of, not anyone else. Remember to stick to your core and don’t let anyone talk down to you. It is up to you in order to change your circumstance.
