Get really clear on what success means to you. It can look however you want it to. Don’t strive for surface level success - the success you think you have or society tells us we should have. Strive for the success that feels right to you at your core. That gives you inner satisfaction and inner peace, that excites and uplifts you, that brings joy to your life.

You don’t have to be the same as all the other artists online. In fact I really encourage you NOT TO BE! We are all so unique and amazing in our own ways. The way that works for one person is not right for the next person. It is our diversity and our differences that make life incredible and beautiful.

So really take a moment to stop and have a good think about what you value in life. What is important to you? Who is important to you? What kind of lifestyle do you want to live? What does your ideal life look like? What does your ideal day look like?

There are so many ways to be an amazing artist, to be fulfilled in your craft and satisfied in your life. Once you define what your version of success looks like you can be relaxed and satisfied knowing that you are on the right path for you. You can stay focused on your own unique path, on achieving your own unique goals while striving for your own version of success.

Don’t compare your journey and success to anyone else. You have your own amazing life to live, your own amazing art to create and it’s up to you to do it in your own special way.
