Inspiring people by motivating through art.

My mind asked me today... I am an artist.. Is it good for me or not...? I am posting this on behalf of so many people who pursue art as their hobby. 1. What if we have other priorities which are more important rather than spending money in buying resources for painting? 2. What if we wish to pursue art but another profession is bread and butter? 3. What if art is getting recognised and commented good,but not sold? 4. What if just be called as "Artists" by outsiders but no moral support from family? 5. What if when you have to beg money from family and cant earn as you are not independent? 6 Is it good spending an hour for an hobby rather than spending an hour working and earning for your family which is more important? 7. What if after wishing a lot, you are unable to make some time for your hobby? 8. What if your career and studies get affected due to your hobby? Its well said that, priorities depend upon what is more important to you, whatsoever is important in your life you will find a way. But what for those people who cant pursue or has to work for more than 12 hours to sustain their family? It is easy to say make out some time or do it on weekend or holidays but its really difficult... My heart answered... Being an artist can never be bad for anyone.. Its a gift of our soul and its a form of expression...artist are creativity explorers... art can never let you down...An artist can never remain happy without expressing art.... Considering above questions...After all this, a true lover for art and blessed fighter is the one who does everything and still pursues art everyday....even focused on other things and justifying each and every task and responsibilities of life... If you love art and if art makes your soul happy.... you can create miracles... I can say because I am one of them... Nothing is Impossible... You just have to find a way,  if you have passion for your art...no boundaries can stop you... Salute to all those artists, who fight everyday just to keep art & passion for creativity alive.. Stay Creative.. Pursue Art... Stay Blessed...

You ask all the right questions, Manashree. We, in the West are luckier than a lot of people in other countries around the world. But even here there are many people who now work such long hours and get caught up in the fast treadmill of life. I know someone close to me in my family who used to paint but she is caught up in work and family life. She tries to be everything to her family and has no time for painting - not that she begrudges them a moment of her time. This modern life and material possessions have taken over and that is why a lot of people, when they retire, try to have time for their crafts. We can only wonder how your life is but we can understand and sympathise and trust that there is a wisdom greater than ours which will show the way. As you always say, "have faith"
