Is this what you want to be doing?
Whenever I get tired or feeling low, I ask myself, “is this what you want to be doing?”
When I hold the question in my mind, I make sure all other factors are taken out of play- time, money, etc. So I can get a real answer.
Every single time, I’ve gotten the same answer, “yes. This is what I want to do.”
Sometimes it’s, “yes and I’m very tired” or “yes, but these people are abusing me and I need to leave them.”
But as far as “do you still want to be an artist?” goes, it always comes back as a yes.
This practice has given me a lot of strength during rough times, so I wanted to mention it for people making their plans for the year.
Oh! And I also make sure I honor the answer. If I got, “no I want to go be a lawyer, I’d go do that.”
Best of luck!
