WARNING: This is way harder than you think. 

I’m working on it every day and I’ve got a long way to go. 

There are many reasons that make it difficult to tell the truth no matter what. Here’s are a few…

1. You have to know the truth, which requires a deep-dive into your own heart and soul.

2. The truth might upset people, which can be really hard if you are a people-pleaser like me.

3. And most importantly, it’s super freaking easy to lie to ourselves. We are masters at this.

In this video, I share why I believe telling the truth no matter what is actually a SUPERPOWER and one of the most important things we can do as creators, artists and humans who want to live fully expressed lives. 

Big love, ⁣⁣

Be gentle with your art.

And don’t forget to be kind and supportive to your artist self.

Because not everything is about money and fame.

It’s okay to keep your day job and make your art on the side.

It’s also okay to want to make a lot of money doing your art.

Just remember, for most of us our inner artist is very young. Usually between the ages of 5 and 15.

Before you place heavy expectations on yourself about earning a living with your art, let your inner artist play and create from a place of joy and exploration.

While your inner artist deepens your connection to your craft and becomes a skilled artist, it’s still your job as the adult to make sure the bills are paid and that there is food on the table.

Not all art needs to make money, but all artists do.

Love,

D
