Maybe I am an anomaly and a g of people I know may be anomalies too … but … I know a lot of happy artists. OK, so, truth be told, I also have known a lot of unhappy artists along my journey. I made sure that I did everything I could to help them become happy …. So many of the Artists who were committed to their own unhappiness drifted out of my life along the way as sometimes happens when two people are very different. I probably make people who are committed to being unhappy crazy. As a matter of a fact joney along with the rat Artist myth, the UnHappy Artist myth is another myth about Artists that I am out to rid us of. I know we are taught that pain and suffering makes for good Art and that if you are a real Artist you will gladly take on that persona. Not only is it part of the historical myth we are fed and keep feeding ourselves, but we have tons of Artists from the past and current who would point to that myth being true. You can come up with lots of the brilliant painters, writers, poets, musicians, singers. You can even look around you and find peers who may have amazing work but who are living an obviously painful life. We all start this game with own culture, family, situations, qualities, abilities and circumstances. What we have total control over … right now, right in this moment … is that we get to choose how we react to our life and everything in it. There is never, ever, ever anything that dictates that we must react in any particular way. We always get to choose! What is that?
