I want every person on earth who has ever created something but for some reason abandoned their craft to return to it again and show their creations to the world! So be it!
Anyone who’s ever started learning something new has always dreamed of their efforts not being in vain. Especially at the very beginning, when you feel a surge of energy and the ease of achieving goals, you’re filled with enthusiasm, dreaming of success. This is the incentive that drives you to get started. Without this motivation, the desire will quickly fade. It’s crucial for a person to understand that they can realize their potential publicly.
You play the guitar – you say that I am strumming for myself, but that is not true, is it?!
You write poetry, claiming it’s just a hobby, but are you deceiving yourself?!
You can paint pictures (great, but I can’t) – you reassure yourself that you are not a great artist, but I just sometimes “draw” something, who needs that?!
WE ALL WANT TO REALIZE OURSELVES THROUGH OUR HOBBY.
To do this, we simply need an unwavering incentive that will give us the strength to create.
Do you play the guitar?
Your incentive will be not to play alone all the time, but – if you are not very confident in yourself – to set a task and play with one of your relatives. You can’t just walk into a thousand-seat stadium and start playing. You need to gradually increase your audience and move from close and dear ones to complete strangers, gradually increasing your audience and getting used to the attention from others.
Do you write poetry?
Your progress will only begin when you take these poems out of your shelves and show them, first of all to those people you trust. Then, take your time and organize a family poetry evening, gathering all your family and friends. And, of course, don’t forget about performing at larger venues. Poetry will never be forgotten. Don’t even think that we live in a “different time” now. Your work is needed.
Do you create paintings?
You need to express yourself and show your family and friends your paintings, no matter the quality. Just think of a child who scribbles some incomprehensible doodle and rushes to show it to their parents with a beaming smile on their face. He doesn’t care whether it’s beautiful or not. The only thing that matters is that their “creations” are accepted. This is as important to you as it was in childhood. Don’t close your paintings and don’t hide them from people. Ideally, you should develop your own gallery, even a small one, but one that is constantly “live.” Give people just one opportunity to convey the spirit of your paintings, and I promise you will find the strength for further creativity.
Understand, just one listener, viewer, or fan is enough incentive to start developing your “little business.”
Good luck, creators!
