money and the new year

Everyone I know has the idea that with more money, you can do more things. This is not always true. Sometimes having more money means having more stuff to take care of and worry about. The less you have the more free you are to change and move in a new direction. This is also true for artists that are unknown. You have the most freedom when nobody expects anything from you. You can reinvent yourself over and over till you get what you want and there will be nothing to stop you.

Once you start selling paintings or any artwork then you will have to desire to do it again and again and you will not want to deviate from what gave you the money in the first place. So In away you become a slave to success.

If you get some kind of windfall of money, you will start buying lots of stuff then the stuff will own you.

This is the other side of the good life.

For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction.

The best time in your life is not getting what you want, its trying to get it. That is the most fun and the most free.
