The Journey Can Be Challenging: Here’s A Guide to Becoming an Artist

Turn Your Dreams into a Reality

Since early childhood, people drill into our heads the importance of going to school, getting a job, and clocking in at 9 then out at 5. This is the way we are taught “things” are supposed to be done. But if you are not truly happy in your 9 to 5 job, then is it worth it? Studies show that by ditching the typical 9 to 5 to pursue your passion, people work better, live stronger and are happier in all aspects of their lives. There is no better time to embrace change and pursue your dreams of becoming an artist than now.

Quarantine Causes Changes in Perspective – Go After Your Dream to Create

Quarantine has forced a lot of people to slow down, look within, and gain new perspectives on their lives. Many are re-discovering their love for art and are willing to trade in their secure and stable 9 to 5 job to fulfill their dream. It may be time for you to take the path less traveled, even though it is riskier to follow your passion.

Escape the Daily Grind & Do What You Love

Many people traded in their paint and brushes for a 9-5 on Wall Street but find that something is missing: Passion. Ask yourself these questions to discover your true dream:

  • What drives you?

  • What is your passion?

  • How do you find inspiration?

  • Why do you create art?

Engaging in something you are passionate about and that’s meaningful will have a lot of positive outcomes on your overall health and happiness. Step out of your comfort zone and make your dream of becoming an artist turn into a reality.
