Why do you think people become preachers and teachers anyway! I know how easy it is to tell others how to be good, after all a lot of my drawings and commentaries are all about that, and I think it’s a pretty cool thing to do with my life.
But, a critical part of what I do is examine myself to see if I can honestly say I am following my own advice. Sometimes I am, sometimes not so much. I don’t avoid topics just because I struggle with them, I wouldn’t say much of anything if that were the case.
But, just like a good preacher, I do try to get across that I am preaching first to myself. If I need to learn something it’s often through talking to myself via my writing and drawing that I get the chance to clarify and refine what it is I am hoping to achieve or become.
It’s after that I am hopeful what I have come up with will help others as well.
