Recently, my
husband told me that something I’d done had buoyed his spirits and made him
feel like we a “studio mentality” in our house.
Studio
mentality? What’s that?
It’s one of the
benefits of working in a studio, alongside other artists. Everyone’s doing the same thing, creating
their art, pursuing their goals and that gives the collective a boost. It makes everyone in the studio work that
much harder on their own grind.
What a
compliment! My husband has
never been shy with praise. He definitely
gives me my roses while I’m still alive to enjoy them, but sometimes the things
he says can bowl me over.
Studio mentality.
Its sounds like a great mindset to be in. To have your life and space be filled with
people who are in pursuit of their own dreams and their efforts makes you want
to move toward yours with that much more fervor.
If your studio is
your inner circle, the people you trust the most, do they create a studio
mentality? Are they on a relentless
journey toward their goals or are they more adept at shrugging their shoulders,
proclaiming how it just can’t work out for them or anyone else.
Disciplined, dogged
pursuit will get you where you need to go, but logic dictates that it would be
easier if you don’t have the weight of the naysayers around your neck.
Studio mentality.
Learn it. Live it.
Love it. ;-)
