I used to use the method of I need to be inspired, I need inspiration, I need the art to speak to me. That’s not enough! You’re not always going to be inspired.
So, what I’ve realized is it’s five words that can help me whenever I need to create.
One, “It.
Two, “Has”.
Three, “To”.
Four, “Be.”
Five, “Done.”
That’s it. It has to be done.
I need to put in the work, find the tools I have in me to finish it. | By James Gardin
