Top 10 Creative Quotes to Get You Inspired in 2021!
Staying inspired and motivated can be one of the hardest things to do as a creative. I know for me, it even get’s annoying at times–the amount of positivity that can be thrown in your face. So for this year, I’ve put together and designed a few of what I would consider ‘non-annoyance’ quotes for 2021 to get that little fire under your ass to be lit a little brighter!
You have so much to offer as the person you are right now. - Robyn Conley Downs
One thing I’ve found is that sometimes trying to stay inspired to create can feel like you are trying to force yourself into the person you are not in that moment. Pushing yourself to create is going to feel in authentic to you, and other people will be able to see that. Recognizing you already have so much to offer as the person you are right now, is the first step to feeling authentically inspired.
2. Learn to rest, not to quit. - Banksy
3. There are no mistakes in art.
There seems to be this common perception that great artists don’t make mistakes. That in order to be a “good artist” you must be relentlessly focused on the details. Fuck that! Art is a form of self expression, and I like to think if your creations are a part of you how could there possibly be any mistakes?!
4. Bad vibes don’t go with my outfit.
5. Just say yikes and move on.
Do I need to say more??
6. The purposes of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls. - Pablo Picasso
7. Growth is growth. No matter how small.
Growth is growth! And things take time. I heard this saying once that went something like, “the ocean is only made up of drops of water”. Big moments can only arise when a bunch of small moments come together. You can do this!
8. A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others - Salvador Dali
9. Trust the timing of your life.
Now I now this might not be a traditional “inspirational quote” BUT I think it’s something us creatives can often forget. For me, it relates SO much to the comparison game we often find ourselves playing on social media. Remember to take a step back every now and then and trust the timing of your life.
10. You got this!
Enough said!
