Not All Who Wander Are Lost

As hokey at it sounds, it's important to honor the journey. But what does that even mean?

My interpretation is that it's about having the patience to sit with uncertainty and be curious about what you fear rather than stifled by it. Both seem to be integral parts of becoming a better artist, and more importantly, individual. 

Success is often the ability to look back on an event and just note that you survived. But we can also work to frame our experiences in a meaningful and helpful way:

ATTENTION	INTERPRETATION	MEMORY
Focus on what you have to be grateful for. It's much harder to acknowledge what you don't have when the emphasis is on what you do.	Tough experiences and feelings can be a  reason for inspiration, opportunity, and growth.  Frame your setbacks advantageously.	Remember past events more favorably.  Allow yourself to selectively remember certain events:  people who do so are happier overall.
