The person who wrote this failed to distinguish between a work artist and hobby artist. They and their goals and responsibilities are not the same.
Some things apply and some don't depending where you stand as an artist and if its your career.
This will confuse people more than help in a way.

I assume this was more for humour than anything else mr.serious pants

If something is called genius, isn't worth serious consideration?
Maybe the things on the list hit too close to home as things that i had to overcome or still deal with right or wrong.
I honestly still wonder if i am actually an artist or what that is in the first place.

I think the genius in it IS that it hits so close to home-and it made me laugh at myself. I have overcome most of these(for the most part and not 100% of the time)
but ya
I think that's the key-it allows one to laugh at themselves

Personally #1 is a GREAT motivator that I employ all the time, I like to get my ass kicked and aspire to new heights; keeps it fresh.
Thanks for posting this buddy

I didn't create it-I'm passing it around-maybe I should've asked permission! hehe nah the author states in her blog that she enjoys that it's taken a life of its own-just give her a link back and credit and I'm sure it's all good
