How to Stay Inspired When Your Artistic Journey Feels Endless
As I cruised from the bustling streets of Chicago to the vibrant shores of Miami, my mind wandered through the metaphorical landscapes of an artist's struggle. It was those final 2 hours of an 18-hour drive that struck me — moments when you're so close, yet it feels like an eternity. Join me on this metaphorical road trip through our artistic endeavors, where the last stretch often tests our resolve.
When Giving Up Seems Tempting
Just like those last miles on the road, the end of an artistic pursuit can be the most challenging. Thoughts of throwing in the towel, declaring, "This is not worth it," creep in. It's a battle against time, where every passing minute appears to elongate, making our goals seem distant and unreachable.
Zoom Out and Celebrate the Milestones
In the depths of doubt, remember this: I found solace by zooming out on the GPS map, seeing the vast distance we'd already conquered. It's a lesson applicable to our art careers. Sometimes, we're closer to the next big opportunity than we think. Take a moment to reflect on the ground you've covered as an artist — the doors knocked, the marketing efforts, the resilience in trying again. Celebrate the journey, gain perspective, and realize you're further ahead than your mind convinces you.
