The Great Acting Blog: “Working To Achieve Artistic Growth”

When you’d rather not do your work, is exactly the time to do it. Whatever the resistance is, go through it, don’t back down. Dig deeper even after it begins to hurt, keep working after it stops being fun, remain focussed even when you’d rather be doing something else. If you’re facing fatigue or fear or stress, do not back down, go through it. Never rock back into your comfort zone – it may be reassuring but you won’t go anywhere.

Going through it, remaining dedicated and focussed on your work when you’d rather not,  is the key to growth, to expanding your possibilities, and to becoming an artist capable of producing worthwhile work.
