From layman to artist... the way

So... I am back to writing. Huh...
Not my problem man, I have so much to accomplish in life, and I have so much time in my life :-), I can afford to take some rest and write this piece of crap. I don't know I should write this or not, sometimes I think I am everything that I wanted to be at this time of my life. I earn too much money, and that too so early in my professional career, its amazing.... :-)
Listening to Satriani's song Lights of Heaven. We admire all this people: musicians, sportsmen, artists, writers and all. Let me say something about them in general..
In everybody's learning experience, there are three phases I feel. The beginner, at the starting point, when he starts on the journey, the output is a lot more than the input he gives. You can say, sort of beginner's luck, till he hits the intermediate level.
Till this point, he is motivated as the output keeps him going, pumping him on. But at next stage, he hits stagnancy. He does not have the impetus to go on, as he does not see himself growing according to input he gives. The learning curve has lost his curve. :-) Let me show this through an example..
A guy is learning martial arts. He starts, its all fun, he is shown the various statures to maintain at each point of time. He learns various moves independently.. piece of cake. But thats not the art he came to learn. What the main factor is sewing all this moves together, use them instantaneously, being aware of "everything". In this phase he sees himself going the opposite way, he cant put things together, he cant make decisions, he is unable to choose. The mind hits the point "blank". He actually hits rock bottom, as he now knows many things or moves, but is not able to use them, as good as nothing.
This is the place where greats don't stop and quitters do what they like doing.. :-) This phase is the test of patience and perseverence. This phase is like watering of a seed, waiting for it to sprout. This is the time where artists divert from the common man.

The great thing and the hard thing is to stick to things when you
have outlived the first interest, and not yet got the second, which
comes with a sort of mastery.
-- Janet Erskine Stuart

The next phase is what I called "bang". Here you hit creativeness, you master things, everything falls into place, it becomes a part of "you". You no longer have to think, you make choices not between bad and good but between good and better, and the best. Everything comes from inside, the art has gone out of mind and entered your conscience. Every thing is "natural" now. Its a part of your "nature".

This process is perfect in itself. It helps you, tests you, teaches you but also gifts the one who deserves. With every art, be anything, you master, you become closer with the world. You now own a part of this world outside of yourself. Not only this, you are giving something back for what you got.

This is one of the 'purpose'....
