Erase and Empower: Detoxing Three Thoughts That Block Creative Greatness
Hey, creative souls! Ever find yourself stuck in a rut because of self-doubt? We’ve all been there. But what if I told you that old, outdated beliefs are the biggest roadblocks to your creative brilliance? Let’s bust three myths that hold us back and reclaim our artistic power.
1) The Myth of Perfection: Your Art is Valuable at Every Stage
Let’s get real: Waiting until your work is ‘good enough’ is like saying you’ll only sing in the shower when you sound like Adele. Your art is valuable on the journey and at its destination. Every piece you create is a snapshot of your growth, and each stage is worth celebrating.
Don’t get me wrong—excellence matters. For example, in opera or ballet and beyond, striving for excellence and even perfect technique is part of the journey. But remember, every stage of your artistic development has its value. Your art is significant at every point in your journey. Each performance, practice, and piece you create contributes to your growth and is worthy of recognition.
2) Self-Worth and Artistic Achievement: Honoring Excellence and Every Stage
Here’s the truth: Your worth as an artist goes beyond accolades and fame. It’s intrinsic. Your dedication to your craft and your unique voice make you special. While achieving excellence and mastering your technique is a significant part of the journey, it’s also important to recognize that every stage of your artistic development has its value. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or starting, embrace where you are now and let it inspire your growth. Every step, whether a breakthrough or a work in progress, contributes to your artistic evolution and deserves to be celebrated.
3) The Illusion of Missed Opportunities: It’s Never Too Late
Feeling like you missed the boat? Newsflash: Art doesn’t have an expiration date. While the mainstream might often focus on youth or specific trends, remember that there is an audience for every age and every level of artistry. Every artist evolves, and each stage has its unique impact and audience. I know dancers who took classes together for 20 years and, now in their 70s, started a dance company for older dancers. This company has attracted an audience that dance would not usually draw. As an artist, you have the power to create opportunities that don’t exist. It’s never too late to start or reinvent yourself. The right time is always now, and there’s always someone who will connect with what you have to offer.
