Life is a difficult thing, none so much as I have found out in the past few years. As I have progressed through my life I have also progressed through my art and my business.
In these areas I am not entirely sure how things are ever going to turn out. I have gone from step to step sometimes unconsciously and then realised that I have achieved what I was planning  to do and other times I haven’t.
The beginning is often fun and exciting.
It’s where you get motivated, feel invigorated and alive! It’s where you plan where you are going to go and take action to get there.
The end result can be satisfying and disappointing.
Either you have achieved what you had originally envisaged or you haven’t and your feelings are often based on that result.
The middle is where the tension lies and it’s the hard bit.
In the middle you sometimes get frustrated and want to get to your vision quickly but you know you have to do the hard work to get there. It’s also where decisions can be made based on how you are progressing -Are you on track for your vision?
If you skipped the middle part it wouldn’t be as satisfying when you get to the end and how would you know if it was the correct result if you haven’t been through the process? The middle is important!
If you give up in the middle which is easy to do, you will never get to the end and I ask you this - Where does that then leave you ???
Furthermore, if you haven’t envisaged your desired result  in  the beginning  how do you know when you get to the end ? You will be in a never ending battle of endlessness. YUKKK! its awful .. trust me I have been there!
So, at the moment I am in the MIDDLE, in the middle of multiple things!
I am doing the hard work, my motivation is that I MUST continue I have no other choice.
If I don’t the artwork and *insert XYZ* will never end and there will be no result good or bad.
No satisfaction, no scope for learning on the next thing I undertake.
The middle is hard but it is necessary, I think the key is to try to appreciate the middle for what it is and KNOW that through the middle you will come to the end.. your vision will evolve and it WILL become a result…. and then maybe the key is to stop thinking about it and push on!
I’ve to confess, I’ve been an enormous Project Natal/Kinect sceptic ever because it was announced with that sham Milo walkthrough and an terrible lot of hyperbole. I have been trying to keep an open thoughts but the various rumours that have circulated about space, lighting and multiplayer issues have been a trigger for concern. The advertising and marketing decision that Microsoft took to place this in the fingers of mainstream journalists and celebrities quite than anybody who actually has experience and experience writing about gaming was extremely worrying.
I believe that avoiding ready-made foods is a first step to be able to lose weight. They might taste great, but refined foods currently have very little nutritional value, making you take more to have enough energy to get over the day. When you are constantly taking in these foods, changing to cereals and other complex carbohydrates will make you to have more strength while eating less. Thanks alot : ) for your blog post.
