Stay true to your artistic vision and voice from "summary" of Walking on Water by Madeleine L'Engle
When we create art, we are expressing something deep within us, something that is uniquely our own. It is important to stay connected to this inner source, to trust our instincts and intuition. Our artistic vision is a reflection of who we are, our experiences, beliefs, and emotions. It is what sets us apart from others, what makes our work truly original and authentic. It can be tempting to conform to external expectations, to try to please others or fit into a certain mold. But when we do this, we risk losing sight of our true selves, of what makes us artists in the first place. We must resist the urge to water down our vision or compromise our voice for the sake of popularity or approval. True art comes from a place of honesty and vulnerability, of daring to be different and daring to be ourselves. Staying true to our artistic vision means being willing to take risks, to push boundaries, to explore the unknown. It means being open to failure and criticism, knowing that not everyone will understand or appreciate our work. But that is okay, because art is not about pleasing others, it is about expressing ourselves in the most authentic way possible. It is about being true to who we are, no matter the cost. In a world that is often noisy and chaotic, it can be difficult to hear our own inner voice, to trust in our own creative instincts. But it is essential that we cultivate this inner connection, that we listen closely to what our hearts and souls are telling us. Our artistic vision is a gift, a precious treasure that we must nurture and protect. It is what gives our work meaning and purpose, what allows us to make a difference in the world through our art. So, let us embrace our artistic vision and voice with courage and conviction. Let us believe in ourselves and in the power of our creativity. Let us be true to who we are, to the unique magic that only we can bring into the world through our art. And in doing so, let us inspire others to do the same, to walk on water and create beauty in a world that so desperately needs it.
