5 Quotes From Do The Work To Help You Stop Procrastinating As A Creative Person
Be Inspired To Create
When things get sour, we look for inspiration anywhere we can get them. Some run to YouTube, others go find their favourite podcasts, some go read a book and some love to take a walk and watch the clear blue skies.
Whichever it is that you do, I’ll love for you to read these quotes, which I found in a book written by Steven Pressfield.
If you are a creative person reading this, then I bet you know who Steven Pressfield is. Okay, this article is not a biography of him but 5 quotes from his book “Do The Work” which can help you keep creating.
- Fear doesn’t go away. The warrior and the artist live by the same code of necessity, which dictates that the battle must be fought anew every day.
2. The problem with friends and family is that they know us as we are. They are invested in maintaining us as we are. The last thing we want is to remain as we are.
3. A child has no trouble believing the unbelievable, nor does the genius or the madman. It’s only you and I, with our big brains and our tiny hearts, who doubt and overthink and hesitate.
4. Once we commit to action, the worst thing we can do is to stop. We don’t have to be heroes to be stubborn. We can just be pains in the butt.
5. Our mightiest ally (our indispensable ally) is belief in something we cannot see, hear, touch, taste, or feel.
Bonus
Picasso painted with passion, Mozart composed with it. A child plays with it all day long. You may think that you’ve lost your passion, or that you can’t identify it, or that you have so much of it, it threatens to overwhelm you. None of these is true. Fear saps passion. When we conquer our fears, we discover a boundless, bottomless, inexhaustible well of passion.
I’m glad you made it to the end. Don’t stop creating. I don’t know what you do, but if you’re an artist, don’t stop doing the thing you so much love.
