A friend of mine, Heidi Huston, recently posted these words of wisdom. I wanted to share them:
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by life and put your art on the back-burner because more pressing things were worrying you? This is precisely when you NEED to schedule some time for creative appreciation and expression. Now I’m not saying blow off all the things you need to accomplish and just disappear into your fantasy art world! While that sounds nice, it will certainly come back to bite you. Rather it is about finding a way to take 5 minutes here or there to doodle, dream and appreciate the beauty of life all around you as the late, great Robin Williams suggests in this quote. We all only have a limited amount of time on this planet, and with the pace of modern living it always seems to go by so unbelievably fast. Make sure you are taking time to appreciate the little moments that make life magical.
