Make Good Art

June 04th, 2012

“..but the one thing you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can. The moment that you feel that just possibly you’re walking down the street naked, exposing too much of your heart and your mind and what exists on the inside, showing too much of yourself, that’s the moment you may be starting to get it right.”

This morning I woke up to a video. One that I needed to hear. Words that so many of us (especially those of us embarking on a road less traveled with our work) should store safely in our hearts for easy retrieval. It’s funny how life has a way of giving you exactly what you need when you need it when you keep your eyes and heart open to its gifts. Today, these words came to me like a precious gift and I hope in some way, they’ll touch you too. I encourage you to take a moment to listen

Crystal! You paid that one forward. It’s exactly what I needed this morning. A million times, thank you.

Thank you for that inspiration, as I leave one phase of my life to another – it is just what I needed!

Very inspirational indeed, for us who are in arts! Reminds us that we could still hold onto our dreams, a little longer, no matter how challenging it may seem, at times. Thanks heap for sharing. It makes my day:))
