Emerging Artists - SELF INITIATED PROJECTS episode 04
Self initiated projects are side projects that are grown organically over long stretches of time. Most often these little fun ideas are created as a result of curiosity, a personal interest, or the desire to prove to one self what they are capable of. By exploring these self initiated projects, we are able to dig deep, explore an idea, and to make things that speaks to our mind, body, and soul. We become able to unapologetically express ourselves in an uninhibited and innovative way which to some may be intimidating or frightening, but to others, it engages them and inspires them like a breath of fresh air.
So go out there and start. Start thinking about the possibilities. Start recording these beautiful dreams and share them with your friends, family, colleagues, or any kind and encouraging soul you can find. Research what tools and skills you may need to make this fantasy a reality. While working on this project, start linking the invisible threads that connect the truth behind how this project relates to the story of your life and to everyone's life. The reasons why this project speaks to you and maybe to someone else too. Reveal the human connection behind your self initiated project. See how others might connect with the story so that they can appreciate it, share it and support it.
By creating honest work, you are being true to who you are and over time, through practice, patience and repetition, you are bound on the path of self-actualization and self-discovery and your actions will automatically align with your values.
I know the financial success of things is what drives many of us and don't get me wrong, money is important, but the truth of the matter is that it's not money that brings joy--it's the acquisition, or in other words, it's the process. The end game isn't everything, it's also the journey to get there, the ups and downs, mistakes learned, connections made, and micro successes experienced along the way.
Money is an exchange of a product, a skill, or a service, so if you create value through great work that you love doing, that money will taste that much sweeter.
Why?
Because it came from the heart.
