“I Could Have Done That”

Garth Beyer

You probably could have done the same work. Though, it would have required a few things.

Doing the same would have required you to put everything on the line to make that work your only work. It would have required you to do the work 1,345 times before this particular project. It would have required you to learn negotiation skills and become friends with people who own a studio that are now happy to let you show and sell your work there.

It would have required you to go through the emotional challenge of hearing your family say that it’s no way to make a living. It would have required you to work while you put so much pressure on yourself. It would have required sacrificing time with friends to do the work. It would have required hundreds of hours studying the craft and the path others have taken.

So, sure.

You could have played that song, painted that artwork, wrote that book, signed that deal.

But let’s not forget all that you would have had to go through to get there.
