3D Earth can be a difficult place. The thing that stops me from wanting to check out is realizing, that "on the other side," I might say, Shoot! Why didn't I just hang in there and finish my mission?"
Of course. then one may ask, What is my mission? That's hard to really know. But I find that I must do something. I don't worry so much about what the greatest service is. I try to tap into what is uniquely mine to give instead. When you have a direction for your creativity to channel into, it makes a difference. And if you aren't "making it" as a musician or whatever according to how society sees it, do it anyway if that's what you love.
Most artistic people need grounding and structure to balance them out. Make sure you get enough nature (as you did when a child). And coming up with some goals, and making plans can provide some structure.
I endeavor to not sound too didactic. But I am an artist, too. I've had the good fortune to make a living as an illustrator, which necessarily forced me to provide my own structure and goals. So I understand first hand how that works.
