Thanks for the reply buddy. I don't really agree with the bit about it not applying to everyone on all topics. It comes down to desire and determination. Most people seek to be entertained rather than entertain themselves. When you live in that mindset there isn't any room to observe, explore, learn, and grow, because you are too busy looking for the next distraction. I believe if those same people turned their attention toward any subject they can break it down. The problem is there is no real desire to.
I'm not sure what you mean by messy in the last part. Life is messy. Existence is messy. You might say that all works in progress are messy.
I can understand having a hierarchy of priorities and how that has importance in real world applications. I can understand not being spread too thin, but to sacrifice diversity of mind and experience to be more digestable in my opinion is a mistake in relation to my particular program.
Maybe it is simply a difference of goals. My goal has never been to be the best this or the best that. My goal is to assess, digest, and express. It is all just variations on an evolving puzzle. If I limit that to one thing I feel like the entire spirit of interest will die in pursuit.
My art has been my main priority for the last year, going from rarely making art to taking it serious and try to make a living. As I'm sure you are aware it takes a lot of work to build it up from nothing. Now that I have a solid foundation for that I have more room to explore my other interests. Now having found Steemit I have started exploring, adding a few other interests into the mix. This is the first time I have thought that there was a legitimate way for me to explore many of my interests in a meaningful way. Now through content creation I a have been shown the potential to have some degree of success in getting compensated for sharing these things with others.
I think maybe what you are referring to when you say messy is a lack of structure, and while that statement might hold a little truth I believe there is structure.......just unorthodox structure. Now I might never reach level 9,000 artistry exploring so many other interests, but I am completely okay with that, because that has never been my goal. I'm just working the puzzle. Really interested in your reply buddy. :)
