This article on Medium resonated with me as it helps explain the difference between an artist and a businessman. It reminded me to focus on personal growth and become a better version of myself instead of competing with others. I am sharing some few profound wisdom from the article below.

“The businessman experiments to find what works, then milks that success for all it is worth.
The artist experiments to find what works, then lets it die and moves on. She must display as much detachment to her work in the world as she does emotion to it in her mind.

You make something. You die. You live again in whatever comes next.

The artist is a Phoenix.

If I am looking for validation in the reaction to my work, it’s because I forgot to die. Insecurity comes when I forget to die. Doubt comes when I forget to die. Fear comes when I forget to die.

Life is not found in applause. It is in silence, in the moment where the world melts away, the lights go dim, and nothing else really matters so much.”
