Defining Success in Creative Endeavors
Success in any creative endeavor is often seen as the moment when your dreams align with reality. It marks the end of imposter syndrome, brings stability, and signifies a breakthrough to the other side.
However, if success is defined in this way, it becomes clear that it may not be easily attainable. It is not always compatible with the very reasons that drive you to pursue creative work in the first place.
While some projects may succeed and your reputation may grow, achieving absolute and enduring success may be elusive. It’s a continuous journey rather than a destination that can be reached definitively.
True success and creative fulfillment go hand in hand—it is the ongoing process of growth, experimentation, and self-discovery that defines you as a creative individual.
