The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Artists
thecandyjar: 1. Being passionate about your art Foremost, the artist must have a passion for their art and everything that is associated with being an artist. Why?

On greatness and killing your ego.
dearcoketalk: Dear Coquette, How do I accept that I won’t ever be great or outstanding? I always thought I had talent, and maybe I’m not bad, but a great many people are far better.
