Starting with Authenticity: Begin your creative journey as if you're writing a personal journal entry, solely for yourself. Embrace the freedom of letting go of external expectations, allowing yourself to fully immerse in the creative process with vulnerability and honesty.
Rejecting Expectations: Release the need to conform to expectations or present yourself in a certain way. True greatness in art lies in its authenticity, not in clever deception or surface-level creations.
Embracing Vulnerability: Understand that great art requires you to expose yourself in some way through your work. Embrace the element of danger and vulnerability in revealing your true self, allowing your authenticity to inform your creations.
Desire for Authenticity: As consumers of art, readers, or viewers, we crave authenticity. We are drawn to works that offer glimpses of truth and realness, transcending superficiality and pretense.
The Price of Authenticity: Recognize that being real comes with a price. It requires you to be seen and heard as you truly are, without pretense or facade. Embracing authenticity means abandoning the ego identity and allowing your true self to shine through your work.
Embracing the Journey: Despite the perceived risks, understand that the rewards of authenticity far outweigh the challenges. Embrace the journey of self-discovery and expression, allowing your art to reveal parts of yourself that may have remained hidden until now.
