I have a lot of artists that are my readers here on my blog.

Thank you for that, it’s an honor to be a peer among all of you guys, actors, musicians other writers.

I used to be a dancer and musician myself, so I guess I feel right at home with the crowd. Especially the British and American artists.

You know, being an artist may seem, from the outside, to be a larger than life, life. The truth is that it is more akin to being an entrepreneur than being at a normal life. Sometimes you actually make a lot of money. But most of the time, you barely survive. This bohemian lifestyle is not for all, and honestly, I really wish I was just more ordinary.

All these ups and downs can be hard for anyone, and you have to have a very deep faith to stay on top of things. Especially when you are as persecuted as I am. That kind of add an extra layer of trouble to all the troubles you have anyway.

So what is the redemptive tools you can use to steer through all the ups and downs. For me it is really faith. Without my faith, I would have been rolling around in the gutter long time ago. Yet a deep and sincere trust in G-d and his angels has kept me sane in the troubles I have had.

I also truly believe, that it keeps you sound of mind to have faith. The humility it comes with it, the natural tendency to be kind, the motivation to help rather than go into futile fights is a good way to live.

I at least can contest to the fact, that a deep and sincere faith is a way to get a good life. The ups and downs are still there, but meeting the world with a positive mindset and trying to stay away from the most poisonous conflicts is a good way to live, and most importantly; to love.

G-d bless the will to be a good person, and treat those around you with faith, loyalty and kindness.
