Living a Creative Life without Fear

11/22/2014

0 Comments

 
I love this quote by Joseph Chilton Pierce about living a creative life because I am forced to dig deep and ask myself questions such as, "What is attached to the fear of being wrong? How do I define living a creative life? What will happen when I choose to lose the fear of being wrong?" I want to share my thoughts with you and I hope you'll dig deep too.

What is attached to the fear of being wrong? To me, criticism and rejection are attached to the fear of being wrong. These reactions shouldn't scare us but rather, they could possibly inspire us, because criticism and rejection do not change who we are as an artist. They'll only propel us to be better artists. I welcome rejection because I know around the corner someone else is embracing my work.  My words will still remain my words and my art will still exist no matter what others think of them. I've come to the conclusion that as an artist and writer, there will be people that will either like or  dislike my work and that is okay .

How do I define living a creative life?  Living a creative life to me goes beyond studio time or paid clients.  It means seeing my life through constant creative lens.  It means that at times even the mundane can be creative and beautiful. It means appreciating a life where I am now, a life where I have the choice everyday to create, even if it is just a few minutes in the day.  It means surrounding myself with beautiful creative things that I have made or from others that have inspired my creative journey. Living a creative life is not defined by success but rather by the growing desire to create until one can no longer create.

What will happen when I choose to lose the fear of being wrong? It's simple, you'll have one less hurdle to go through, which will leave you with more room to be creative.  Therefore, I encourage you to create fearlessly.
