Do you feel that you have a destiny, that you were created for a purpose? Can you see it, feel it, taste it, but still struggle to bring it to reality?
Do you sense opposition? Does it seem that for every two steps forward, you end up taking three steps back? Are you tired and weary?
Do you find yourself tempted to give up and give in?
For every creative force, I believe that opposition follows. Creatives give birth and giving birth is painful. It requires all of your energy reserves, all the strength you possess, all the determination you can muster, and it really helps if you have someone alongside to coach your breathing and to encourage you to push.
So I'm filling that role today and I'm encouraging you to breathe and then PUSH!!
If you are constantly pushing, you'll eventually wear out. So it's important to take time off to breathe. Breathe in life, stillness, beauty, nature. Surround yourself with inspiring music, books and films, or spend some time in nature. Watch a sunrise or sunset, get your feet wet and your hands dirty. Breathe deeply, live fully and stay in the moment.
After a bit of refreshing . . . it's time again to PUSH!
Create something and push it out of your hands into the marketplace! Every creative I know struggles with thoughts like:
Is it good enough?
Does it measure up?
Will anyone like it?
Will it sell?
Am I nuts for trying to 'make it' with my art?
You won't know the answer to those questions until you put it out there.
Are you tempted to wait until it's perfect? And even 'perfect' seems not good enough? Are you stuck in paralysis analysis? Stop it!! You don't bless anyone when your product stays in your studio, you don't make money, you don't learn, and you certainly don't move forward. Forward motion is powerful.
Are you holding projects that should have been released long ago?
Perhaps you don't yet have a platform. What then? Share with your friends, get feedback, start building your list, and plan for an upcoming BIG push!!
If you have questions or if I can help in anyway, please let me know.
And if you want to make a commitment to push something forward and out of your hands, comment below!!
