Thank you for the encouragement & guidance. Procrastination can be a detour whether it be fear of failure or success & can become paralyzing.
I used to mistake my endless observations & daydreaming as laziness but I’ve realized that I’m simply processing all I’ve seen & heard in a day. Whatever I soak in can birth new ideas so I’m much gentler on myself in that realm.
Start small, forge ahead with baby steps & be kind to yourself is a great reminder, BG. Permission to dedicate, practice, finish & follow through can only pave more accessible paths for our art & that greater faith. . ✨something to strive for✨
Thank you for this one! This line stuck out to me "I was spending my energy on comparison, jealousy, regret." It's so unfortunate how much there is compare ourselves to, to be jealous about, and regret with social media. It's opened up worlds but in that opening it can leave you feeling so overwhelmed that you feel unmotivated to start anything.
But as you said, compassion, community, and faith in the process.
My partner has been making her way through The Artist's Way and introduce me to it and I have thought for some time that I should give it a read.
"The need to be a great artist makes it hard to be an artist.” That hit!
Cheers to more compassion, community, and faith in the artistic practice.
You’ve taught me a lot and you’re still teaching me Mr. BG. I’m writing more than I ever have and I’ve never wanted to write more in my life. It’s not about musical inspiration, so much as it is creative inspiration. The inspiration that gives the drive to create. You’re a huge part of that and I can’t thank you enough!
This post reflects my daily creative challenges to a big fat capital T.
