Fill in the blank. For me it is highs and lows, and gaps where I'm falling off. Motivation, commitment and perseverance seem to be difficult. Anyone got any good tips for seeing through all the crap and staying on the path? I'm training to be an artist

@Surfingthewave I'd say movement. But that doesn't really go, or necessarily say much. Perhaps stating the obvious. I'd imagine that Van Gogh moved around a bit. I say movement but more because it was mention in "The Secret of the Golden Flower." an occult book I saw Jung mention, happened to be on an audiobook on Youtube.

...how to use your skills in different areas.

esp., capitalism. Because, we live in a capitalistic society. Recommended book. Because that's how it works. It will give you more opportunities than just going for a job and working all your life. If you want to go green (lifestyle), this type of orange will be a backup for your health and well-being. Otherwise, it might be too big of a risk. 

If you're able to fit your skill(s) in these areas,

you will be able to survive and eventually have financial freedom and free time.

@Yellow_Girl That was about salvation. And not mastering the mess he was in.

I mean he'd be really screwed, if there was a grate on the end of that pipe.
