Keep going
— What is an artist, the apprentice asked the master.
— One who keeps going.
Swedish actor Thorsten Flinck sometimes tells this short story when asked what defines a true artist.
One who keeps going...
Keeps going regardless of successes or setbacks. Keeps going even when inspiration sometimes loses its spark. Keeps going no matter if everyone else says there's no point.
Giving up is easy. It takes a master to keep going.
Keep on being the master.
