Stay committed to your creative vision and goals from "summary" of Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert
When you have a vision or a goal that you care deeply about, it is essential to commit to it fully. This means not just dabbling in it when you feel inspired or motivated, but showing up for it consistently, day in and day out. Your creative vision is like a relationship – it requires your time, attention, and dedication in order to thrive. There will be days when your vision feels distant or unattainable, when you question whether it's worth it to keep going. But if you truly believe in the value of your creative work, you must stay committed to it, even in the face of doubt or uncertainty. Remember that creativity is a process, and progress is not always linear. It's easy to get discouraged by setbacks or obstacles along the way, but these challenges are a natural part of the creative journey. Embrace them as opportunities for growth and learning, rather than reasons to give up. Stay open to new possibilities and approaches, and be willing to adapt and evolve as needed. Your creative vision is a reflection of who you are and what you have to offer to the world. It is a unique expression of your talents, passions, and experiences, and it deserves to be nurtured and developed to its fullest potential. Trust in your vision, and trust in yourself to see it through to fruition. Stay committed to your creative work, and watch as it unfolds and transforms in ways you never could have imagined.
