Just because you cannot be a good artist does not mean that you should feel defeated and give up your passion. If you are serious about pursuing your passion and being helpful, you could play a meaningful role by putting in seriously study, interning under a Senior artist and thus becoming a valuable art critic. This too can be another pursuit of ones passion.
If you have identified your passion and are willing to continue its pursuit, you could do so. If not a great cricketer, you could become - a good umpire, an entertaining commentator , a great score-keeper, a super statistician
It is important that you pursues your passion, even if success or excellence in the desired field seems unattainable. It highlights alternative roles that could still align with one's passion:
1. Don't give up on your passion due to limitations or lack of talent.
2. Explore related fields that leverage your skills and interests.
3. Developing expertise through study, mentorship, and experience.
4. Continue contributing to the field in a different capacities.
Examples:
1. Art: critic, curator, art historian, educator
2. Cricket: umpire, commentator, scorekeeper, statistician
3. Music: producer, manager, sound engineer, music journalist
This mindset helps:
1. Foster creativity and innovation
2. Encourage lifelong learning
3. Build resilience and adaptability
4. Promote a sense of purpose and fulfillment
I understand what you say but the circumstances and hard reality doesn’t make it easy to make these choices as we crave stability rather than adventure
