Did someone say commitment?
A little dedication goes a long way, at least that’s what “they” say. So where does a lot of dedication take a person?
For those of us in any competitive field, especially when it comes to the arts (don’t ask me why, I don’t make the rules), earning a fruitful living takes more than a good eye and a little dedication. Of what and how much it takes depends on the variables, however, the father of dedication is, of course, commitment. As a twenty-something that nasty little word is to be avoided at all costs. Then one day you wake up and realize commitment is pertinent to surviving in the ever-present concrete jungle as a certifiable adult. It’s really no different than facing those squatter toilets in a foreign country. You gotta commit or you’ll end up making a mess of yourself.
A mini-trip to Houston last weekend reminded me in more ways than one that building success isn’t a half-marathon, it’s a full Iron Man. For those of you also starting a new career or new venture, hopefully these little snapshots will remind you to keep plugging along, even if it seems like a continual work in progress or feels as if the finish line is 140.6 miles away.
