What a lie.
I’ve been believing this thought from the enemy recently. “You’re just not good enough to be an artist”
Every time I start to think…maybe that is true…God gives me a great gift. Without a doubt every time I have this feeling my 6 year old comes to me and says “you’re a great artist mom” in her sweet voice. And that’s really all I need to continue in those moments, because I want to be great for her, create gardens for her, and show her not to give up on her daydream.
In the journey of creativity, self-doubt can often plague artists, leading them to question their abilities and worth. It's crucial to understand that these thoughts are common and often stem from external pressures rather than personal skill. Many successful artists have faced similar struggles, using them as motivation to harness their creativity. The bond between parents and children can serve as a powerful source of inspiration. For instance, expressing your artistic endeavors can not only showcase your talents but also instill confidence in the next generation. It's important to create an environment where creativity flourishes and dreams are encouraged. Seeking out communities, whether online or offline, can provide essential support, offering spaces for collaborative growth and shared experiences. Remember, art is subjective; what matters most is the joy and purpose it brings to your life. Embrace your journey, share your voice, and let the encouragement of loved ones fuel your artistic expression. If you ever feel overwhelmed, take a moment to reflect on the positive feedback received from those who matter most in your life, just as the author does in their story.
