Picasso once said "Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working." Which brings me to the idea of self discipline. Without it, I'd never improve (in any area in my life) and it's probably my favorite tool in self care. And it does have to do with self care. Because when you love yourself, care for yourself, you do things that are good for you or that will take you where you want to be. You can't keep doing this though without self discipline. It is what will keep you going when the hard hits, or the inspiration and motivation are lacking. And as you create, work, do things because of self discipline, you'll find yourself moving past the ruts, past the hard parts and back into momentum.

It is the progress we make that is the reward. Why do you think often it is never enough to receive the reward? If the reward is in the process and progression we make then the fruit of that is the extra icing on top making it all much sweeter.

My emails are kind of like a road trip . . . they include adventure, good music, some wrong turns, a couple of right ones, and maybe a snack. For real though, it is a journey, this artist thing and I’d love to have you here with me.

Hey there, welcome to season 2 of Discovering Breadcrumbs. This is a part of the Cultivate Project, a once a month project where I explore practices and mindsets we can cultivate for growth. And this month we're talking about Elevation. I started this as an exploration of lettering art and illustration. As I created the art, discovered words that flowed out with the art. This podcast is the place where I share those words. You can see the art in the link below. And I'd love it if you followed along in my journey by signing up for my weekly emails.
