Artist, do not dilute your art please (guidance to stay true to your vision)
In this episode, I'm reading a past letter I sent to the community last year to share guidance around staying true to our colours and stop diluting our art to fit in. How can we stay true to our vision and feel at home in our creative work?
We can easily dilute our true colours as artists, creative minds and unconventional humans, when our creative vision gets tinted by the demands, 'shoulds' and distractions of the outside world... or the impossible standards we hold for ourselves.
Fully honouring who we are will also inevitably bring out where we contrast with others. That’s where our truth gets to exist, that’s where our beauty lies.
How can you stay true to the version of yourself, here and now? How can you own the boldest hues of your truest colours?
Prompts shared in this episode:
+ Where am I diluting my essence and my art to keep the peace or please others?
+ How can I be kinder to myself and let go of the red editor’s pen?
+ What beauty can I choose to see in the messiness of this process?
