"Where you have passion, strength, courage
and determination you can accomplish anything!"
K.L. Toth
George Lucas was described in an article about his labor of love creating Star Wars. This creative man was challenged by finances, supporters, weather, and various losses. He was forced to make numerous concessions to attain his dream, but he never lost his passion. His drive drove him into a very successful career.
Sue Monk Kidd early in her career wrote articles for Guidepost Magazine. This author was driven by passion in spite of where she was located or the commitments that limited her. Her accomplishments were in addition to tending to her marriage and children. The author's unique books: The Secret Life of Bees, The Invention of Wings, When the Heart Waits, Dance of the Dissident Daughter, Traveling with Pomegranates, The Mermaid Chair and others.
Observing a variety of artists and the length of their devotion, one notices the work growing in depth and at times wavering from original design. The point being, the commitment one makes to oneself needs to be fueled by inner strength, courage and determination in spite of all odds. There must be an allowance for flexibility, but to thine own self be true.
