The Artist's Way again.
When you're working on a project, discipline is important. It keeps you focused on your work, and on track to get it done.
But discipline can only take you so far. It's still missing something.
Enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm isn't just emotion, although that can be an important part.
Enthusiasm is letting yourself get drawn into the creative process. It lets you appreciate the creativity that surrounds us.
Artists are not disciplined soldiers. Artists are releasing their inner child, and children aren't necessarily the best about discipline.
It's devotion that we really need.
For us, our work can be like our play, because we love it, and we get to unleash that inner child.
