Fear is hard on creatives. Most of us spend our days facing the struggle between our inner selves and the irrational fears that show up just to sabotage our progress. Invisible forces undefined, the creative process remains a mystery with few ever honing their abilities to identify, control and conjure it at will. Live in an agency + time restraints + client pressures + fear = how can any artists trapped in responsibility survive.
I believe, just like author Elizabeth Gilbert, that it’s this pressure and anxiety that is causing the artists of our century to become obsolete.
Since when did we lose our courage to be creative?
Why do we judge ourselves so harshly?
How do we silence the noise and continue doing what we love?
I stumbled upon this video and found a renewed battle cry. Negatives beware, you’re not going to take my spirit without a fight. And really, I don’t care if you like what I do. I show up and do my part, that in itself is enough for me.
