Throughout this series, we’ve explored recognising and combating Resistance, adopting a professional mindset, developing discipline, overcoming self-doubt, embracing the creative journey, and turning failure into fuel. In this concluding article, we’ll discuss how to integrate art and creativity into everyday life, making your pursuits a continuous source of fulfilment and growth.
The Importance of a Creative Life
Living a creative life means more than just dedicating time to your artistic pursuits; it’s about infusing creativity into all aspects of your existence. Steven Pressfield writes, “The more scared we are of a work or calling, the more sure we can be that we have to do it.” This fear often indicates that the pursuit is meaningful and essential to our personal growth and fulfillment.
