Hello artist I am so excited to talk about this topic today. It's something that you may not have

pause to consider before, but I think about this often in my own life and in my own art practice and that has

created some amazing wonderful results for me so I wanted to share this with you in

this episode I want to talk to you

about wanting versus committing

and how making that distinction

empowers you to create better results in your art practice. So let me start for the purposes of this

podcast episode of just defining what it means to want something like to desire something

right?

Wanting and desire are part of human nature,

and I think it's very important to pay attention

to what we want or what we desire in our art practice and in our life. So sometimes what we truly

desire is a little bit hidden. It's a little bit masked and that's why sometimes people will say like if I ask

artist what do you want what do you want with your work what do you want with your art

practice where do you want to take your art

career, a lot of times they are not sure.

They just say like, I don't know, I think I want this,

I think I want that.

And oftentimes, what we truly desire is masked by what I'm going to call false desires.

And when we have a lot of them, which most people do, they tend to hide our truest desires from

ourselves because they're sort of like, you know, a red herring.

They're sort of like very distracting desires that we occupy ourselves with and our true desires, our true wants are a little bit hidden from us.
