I heard a saying that goes like “don’t force yourself to get into something, but find something you’re so obsessed with that you have a hard time putting it down”. Thank you for reminding me man, your videos are very inspiring!

Only realised recently why I was feeling so bitter and empty, because I wasn’t acting on the curiosity and ideas my brain feeds me. Past 3 years I followed others advice for my career. To do business, to get marketing skills. But I am only becoming more and more angry at the world. I think it’s because I’m not expressing my self through music.

@Dylanthestudent 3 күн бұрын

As someone who is pursuing music because it’s their passion and is only looking into business and marketing now - those experiences certainly weren’t in vain they will serve you very well. All the best on your adventure! 😊

I suppress it at night. Every night around 9 pm..... the magical ideas come into my field of awareness..... and I say, go to bed.... we will do it in the morning..... I inspiration is gone by morning. I can't even recall the idea. I waste the gift

@tozakfilming Күн бұрын

yessss I resonate a lot, this too happens to me. What I try to do is journal and write down the things I am feeling in the night so at least I can act on something material in the morning. It will still be a challenge to act w will power but there's no obstacle around that. It just is and we have to confront it, but that only means it is our destiny to finally overcome it

i used to love drawing when i was younger, but once I started going with a media that was most popular (anime/manga style) i started hating to draw, and do commissions. I came back 5 years later missing my creativity, and now im drawing semi realism again, crocheting, and playing with clay and im loving it. It really takes a different mindset of what you want to come out of your craft.

Being able to enjoy the work that you do is invaluable. At some point, it doesn't even feel like work. Today, I began editing videos for the apprenticeship I just started and had a great time. And I'm always eager to go back the next day. When I got home, I sketched out a whole one-page comic that I was really happy with. Previously, it would take me a few days, because I get distracted easily. I'll be finishing that up and inking it later tomorrow.

@tozakfilming 5 күн бұрын

That's awesome. I also started editing videos for businesses recently as I'm starting my videography freelancing. It was a lot of fun and didn't feel like work. I enjoyed it and so it went by quickly. Was a huge gratitude check for me. Best of luck w all the work, enjoy!!

Many times, I avoid what I am obsessed with because I need to get to bed so I can get to work in the morning on time. It's exactly what you are talking about.. except..... I am blocking it. After work today, I do that one responsibility I need to do. And then, I do something that I am obsessed with...... photographing nature and finishing that beginners art course I began in 2022.

Truly building a genuine relationship with our chosen craft is something that's been on my mind lately. And I completely agree it begins with romanticizing the process. Even if that means taking it slow at first, such that we can ensure we're having fun and become increasingly committed for the epic adventure ahead. All about cultivating that creative spirit! Thank you for your work and message 🙌

Thank you so much for this, I’m so excited to put what you said to practice and get back to my creative pursuits! “Creativity is a way of life” has to be one of my favorite quotes ever ❤

YES! This is fantastic. this is all of why im an adventure artist. I love this share and how you shot this video! I'm a musician and artist but it's so hard to find ways to romanticize the process of making that work. Also, i think that what you describe here as "magic" is what Julia Cameron was trying to teach me in the artists way but i kept getting hung up on the language she used. But "magic", thats POWERFUL.

There is something about the process too that some people should also believe, the fact that they have the goal in mind or know what they must do deep down, that is something they should commend themselves for. All the time, I tell myself "no one can unleash your artistic vision and passion like you do, only you." and I think it's something to think about whenever one is losing hope or nervous.

@tozakfilming 5 күн бұрын

Yes very true, no one else will be able to do this for you. You are seeing what you are seeing for a reason. No one else is seeing the exact vision in your mind. It's a calling and until it is answered, something won't feel right in the soul. We need to embrace it and realize that it's our destiny to pursue it. Like you said, only us. I believe God gives us these visions. It's not something to ignore. It will reward us, in a fulfilling way
