Creating Art Is Your Motivation To Keep Going

Hi Rogues! Happy Monday! Today, I want to talk about something that is meant to keep you going, keep you inspired, and help you stay on track with your creative pursuits. I’m sure most of us have felt like giving up on our creative passions at some point, especially when we’re not getting the validation we need, or not making any money yet. That’s when we need to remind ourselves why we started in the first place.

I didn’t start drawing or painting or doing any creative projects because I thought I would make a fortune doing it. I started because I had a passion for creating. And that passion is what has kept me going all these years. It’s important to remember why we started in the first place, why we feel that burn, and that passion for creating art.

One of the most common mistakes people make is chasing money. It’s easy to get caught up in the idea that once we start making money, we’ll be successful. But if that’s all we’re focused on, we’ll likely get discouraged. Remembering why we started in the first place helps keep us focused on our passion for creating.

For me, creating art was always a way to express myself. I was a quiet kid who spoke little, so I found self-expression through art. And that’s still true for me today. I create art for myself, not for other people. I think that’s something that’s gotten lost in today’s culture of hustle and sell. We must remember that creating art is about self-expression and self-discovery, not just about making money.

It’s essential to keep this in mind as we pursue our creative passions. It’s easy to get caught up in the idea of making money or getting validation from others. But ultimately, those things are just side effects of creating great art. The rest will fall into place if we focus on our passion and joy for creating.

So, my message for today’s Monday motivational madness is to remember the passion and joy that drove you to pick up a paintbrush or a pencil or to play an instrument, or do anything creative. Let that be the thing that motivates you to keep going. You’re a creative, which means you get to create stuff. And that in itself is the motivation to keep going.

When we create something, we get to see it through to the end. We get to see our ideas come to life. That feeling of accomplishment is incredibly rewarding. And then, we get to move on to the next project, reveling in the challenge and loving the problem-solving. That momentum and inspiration will continue if we stay focused on our passion for creating.

It’s a mindset, a way of looking at our creative pursuits with a positive and motivated outlook. It’s about remembering why we started in the first place, and letting that passion and joy guide us to keep going. So, keep creating, experimenting, putting yourself out there, and let your passion and joy be your motivation to keep going. Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you the next Monday!
