I want to share with you not just fire asset packs and freebies.
we live in the best and worst times simultaneously to be an artist/designer or any kind of solopreneur… the best bc we have a direct link to the entire world and the people that are most likely to connect with how we feel and the ideas and conceptions we have about the world and ourselves, more ways of making money, and even more of spending it…. witch links to the reasons of why its the worst time also… to many distractions, we have the world at our fingertips but almost no tools to cut through the noise and help us focus on who we want to be, or how we want to live.
so discipline and self-control have been the name of the game these past few years. creating an avatar in my mind (design syndrome) of how me Super Saiyan 6 feels like, and just pretending to be him till one day hopefully I become him. the idea of god in Western culture, having a north star, purpose.
(I have become death, destroyer of doubt)
we have this idea of purpose being such a grand word, that can only be some culture-shifting thing. Purpose can be, ill make a poster every day for a year, ill study this or that career, Im gonna learn 3D, or I want to work/ stress less, spend more time with my partner or friends (not everything has to be adding grinds), and not in the sense of making silly affirmations in front of the mirror bc you had a glass of wine and are feeling confident, I'm saying your dead set on making those moves bc they'll set you closer to that persona that you want to become. because let's not forget my guys, that our telomeres are getting shorter each day, cells begin to halt their repairing processes, we age, we age now, not tomorrow. So what’s it gonna be?
from the constellation of possibilities just pick one and walk in that direction, moving I think we are more likely to spot the better path and make iterations from there.
I've found that for myself, all the self-doubt and most of the anxiety went away when I stopped chasing the idea of doing things perfectly… or even right (or how you're supposed to do them), I do and share things done MY way, and I hope to show just that trough my body of work, be it the posters, reels, the style of the asset packs, even this that I'm writing right now, I started doubting myself like, “I'm kinda rambling here a bit lol” “maybe it's a bit disjointed??” “Does anyone care” “Who do I think I am to be talking about these things…?” then I remembered, I’ll never get it perfect, no one ever did. The mf that I want to be, would press the “share now” button.
