Oh man. Such a good post. This is something that I think about a lot as well. Its crazy how elusive quality life can be.
I think a part of it too is reacting to external stimulus, as oppose to exercising conscious dynamic output. I read in an art history book that true Renaissance men were those that had an unshakable will to see their visions come to reality, despite opposition.
I think people get stuck in patterns to have people think for them so much that they get used to it, i.e. trying to find a job vs. making one. I think what makes the idea of studying hard is progress, a lot of the time, is individual seeds you have to cultivate where you don't get the immediate gratification. A lot is our culture is geared towards satisfying that immediate need. Artists create their place in the world using moments like any other medium. I've still of a lot to learn as well, I can definitely empathize.
Good luck on your journey; definitely inspired me with this one!
-and your stuff rules and all that! ;D
