CHASING A DREAM

Journal Entry: Mon May 7, 2012, 1:42 AM
DEVIANTART GALLERY | FACEBOOK | TUMBLR

from ~lidstrom82




It's been said that the world is made up of artists and critics.


Artists are creative, take risks, think outside the box, and express themselves in ways that ellicit reactions from others. Critics, for their part, can look at something created and assign value to it according to accepted standards.


I've seen artists use their gifts to promote themselves, or something that is unworthy/inspires bad things.


More often, I've seen critics take their opinions and influence and savage creativity. But here's the thing: our worst critics are often the ones inside us. Think about it. How many times did you talk yourself out of a creative idea, and opt to do something safe - or worse, nothing at all?


By far, the biggest obstacle in this journey has been my inner critic. Every day, on some level, it wonders why I should try so hard for an unknown result. Why put so much effort into creating something when it could be scoffed at? Or worse, ignored?


Because there is the thrill of inspiration...for the artist and the beholder. There are messages and visuals and stories and sounds to be formed and shared. This life can be very difficult, and creativity gives us outlets and escapes and healing. We get to share in it. Artists get to take part in producing something greater than themselves, and the audience gets to react.


So keep going, keep dreaming. Listen to your inner artist more, and your inner critic less. Be gracious with what others create, and don't settle for safe. Your dream is waiting; just work hard enough to reach it.

REACH FOR FOR IT ! !
