Excellent post! All of it is so helpful and for those who stay aware of what the ups and downs are, that awareness helps but doesn't cure us! Persistence is in fact, the key. I have a print out of a quote that is taped to the wall of my studio. It says, “If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.” — Vincent Van Gogh. I practice three different forms of art and it's vital to me to push past the voices and the inner critic. I'm not always successful. Regarding the Zf, I own it and it has really opened up new avenues for me!

Thank you for this Wesley. This year I've celebrated a couple of small wins. But then I also remembered that a few years ago when I was scammed off 60% of my gear, I felt like giving up. It's a challenge I never saw coming, but I persevered, overcame that hurdle and fast forward, I think I'm on a track I want to be.
