If you want to be an artist, and actually go through the motions of being one, you will become at least an adequate artist.
You may not become another Van Gogh, but you will be much more of an artist than someone who has neither had the intention now gone
through the motions. There is no way of knowing how far intention and action can take you.
This world offers no guarantees, only opportunities and vicissitudes. When you reach for the stars you may not get one, but you
won't come up with a handful of mud either.
