Sobering

Examine the lives of people who have truly excelled in any of the arts – music, theatre, dance, sculpture – and they all have one characteristic in common: the capacity to commit themselves wholeheartedly to their chosen disciplines. They do it every day. No excuses.

from On Being a Photographer, quoted here

I think about this a lot, especially in regard to improv and theater.  It’s good to see this articulated so clearly.  But sobering.

Time is the secret ingredient.
