The chase for personal evolution & fervent pursuit to establish a celebrated identity or define a meaningful existence is an artistic process. where you are both the sculpture & the marble.
Manifesting yourself to either reinvent the wheels or set a signature template involves pain & discipline.
In this context "Discipline" is putting a hammer to a chisel held on that part that needs carving, it's not a painless one.
An aesthetic work of art requires a tough mental perspective to the level of meaning that defines the craft.
Finding yourself is a painful journey, yet entirely worth it.
