After the Creative Process

Be the First

Be the first to love what you do.

“Art is what we call…
the thing an artist does.
“…what makes it art, is that the person who made it overcame the resistance,
ignored the voice of doubt and made something worth making.” 
~ Seth Godin

Be the first to love what you do.

“When we are willing to make what wants to be made rather than make what we want, we become open to new directions”
~ Julia Cameron

Be the first to love what you do.

“Creativity is the mind at play with the materials that it loves.”
~ Carl Jung

Be the first to love what you do.

“The best way to get approval is to not need it.”
~ Hugh MacLeod

Be the first to love what you do.

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.”
~ Steve Jobs

Be the first to love what you do.

“Reject the tyranny of picked. Pick yourself.”
~ Seth Godin

Be the first to love what you do.

“Eventually, you will realize that the world didn’t give you what is etched on your soul-character, nor can it take it away. Only you can choose to let it remain unexpressed–don’t hang back, waiting for approval from others to be yourself.”
~ Michael Beckwith

Stop waiting for external validation.
Be the first to love what you do.

    I feel joy when I’m with family and /or friends. I especially feel joyful when I am painting with friends. Watercolour is my medium.

  2. Jackie

    Joy to me is when I open my eyes in the morning; so many possibilities… Receiving love and kindness is great but I love giving love and spreading kindness.

  3. Flynn Gentry-Taylor

    Affirmations such as your posts which I keep handy to review and remind me of the joy all around us, if only we look up.

  4. Elda Loredo

    I love: sharing stories about my children when they were kids, sharing my love of reading with the children I tutor, sharing my knowledge of grammar and writing with my students, praying, going to Mass and telling God about the good in my life.

    This very minute, I am sipping fresh-brewed coffee with my dearest friend of 44 years. It is quiet beyond description because the world is still asleep. I have found that the little moments bring great joy.

  6. Chris

    The joy of God and everything that He has provided for us, down to the most minute pleasure and need. I am humbled and in awe when I stop to look at all that surrounds me.

  7. Being present in the moment whether with my family, art, or faith time is what brings me JOY! <3

    I know that I am in good company here….like so many of you my joy comes from my grandchildren and children, my painting, and from nature.

    Finishing a work of art gives me such pleasure and a feeling of accomplishment as I cannot get elsewhere.

  17. Elena Kulevska

    Every new day I experience , the potential and possibilytes it brings gives me joy. The dance of the sunlight on the wall in the morning , the smell of the freshly cut grass in the summer or the soaring fly of the dragonflys also brings me joy, My family all cozy in the living room waching a movie together, brings me joy too. Joy is everywhere we jus have to let it in .
