Creative expression is not just a means of getting attention, although some have approached art that way. Think of art as a way of connecting, of sharing your insights with others.

Choose to give your creative art priority over other things. You can do it.

You owe it to yourself to make your creative development a top priority.

Creativity needs to be exercised to grow strong.

If you persist in ignoring your intuition, you may find yourself stuck in a permanent holding pattern instead of taking the risks that lead to creative growth.
