The Artist's Way

(Axel Boer) #1
article in  People  magazine    is  the concrete
goal. To her, glamour is the emotional
center for her dream; glamour is true north.
For the second actress, the concrete goal is
a good review in a Broadway play. To her,
respect as a creative artist is the emotional
center of her dream; respect is true north.
Actress one might be happy as a soap star.
Actress two would need stage work to
fulfill her dream. On the surface, both seem
to desire the same thing.)


  1. In a perfect world, where would you like to
    be in five years in relation to your dream
    and true north?

  2. In the world we inhabit now, what action
    can you take, this year, to move you
    closer?

  3. What action can you take this month? This
    week? This day? Right now?

  4. List your dream (for example, to be a
    famous film director). List its true north
    (respect and higher consciousness, mass
    communication.) Select a role model (Walt
    Disney, Ron Howard, Michael Powell).
    Make an action plan. Five years. Three
    years. One year. One month. One week.
    Now. Choose an action. Reading this book
    is an action.
