MYND. Three: Motivation

No, you can do this

Do you see what's in the distance? Do you see that tiny little thing? Call me crazy, but I think I see the light. Let's run towards it with all our might and free ourselves from this intoxicating darkness.

Seeing the light after being discouraged seems impossible.

Although, the greatest pieces of art came from hundreds of negative thoughts, but the artist pushed through and created anyway. As a result, we were graced with the earth shattering works of art we live with today.

Think of your favorite albums, TV shows, photoshoots, movies, and ponder how they made an impact on your life. Now picture your life without those influences.

Focus in on your art and push out the imaginary nay sayers. Create loud and proud. Stop overthinking. You owe it to yourself to at least try.

You never know if a piece of your heart will attach to someone else's.
