What Gets in the Mode of Saying Yes to Your Art
I know you that as yous read this, your mind is filling up with your to exercise list, and all the other "reasons" yous don't have time for art. I'thou not going to mince words here though, not because I want to be unkind or harsh, just because I want to assist, and sometimes nosotros all need a trivial reality check. (Trust me, I include myself in this argument!) The new year's day is almost making a fresh outset and new intentions, and I want to brand sure I aid you be really honest with yourself. Then here'southward what I desire you to hear, take into your heart, and actually consider:
The simply thing that'south getting in the style of you making art is y'all.
It'south not your laundry,
Or your lack of supplies, (talk about making something from nothing)
Or your enervating schedule,
Or your shaky hands, (check this out)
Or your (and so-called) lack of talent.
It's your fearfulness and your excuses.
It'south yous allowing everything else to have more than importance in your life than spending even 5 minutes doing something creative.
When you are 85, and you look dorsum on your life and what you did with the time you had, how will you lot feel about not taking that dance course, and never writing that novel or finishing that painting? You didn't have time to trip the light fantastic toe, to write, or to paint because you were cleaning, snooping on your ex on Facebook, or organizing your sock drawer. Volition you be satisfied with what you made a priority? What you chose to do by default? Will y'all be happy that you allow fearfulness of not beingness "good plenty" get in your way of creating?
What if you lot stopped putting off your artistic dreams, big and small?
