“Why Not Me?”—What One Question Taught Me About Courage, Mindset, and the Power of Art

This week tested me.

Between personal struggles and creative challenges, I found myself tangled in fear and self-doubt. It’s a vulnerable place—one that many artists (and humans) know all too well.

The Turning Point

During a recent session of my CVP training with Nicholas Wilton from Art2Life, one simple question stopped me in my tracks:

“Why not you?”

This question landed hard. It echoed. And then… it began to shift something deep inside me.

Examining My Mindset

That question invited me to examine my mindset. I had to look at the beliefs I still carry about my worth as an artist and as a person. What I realized is this:

💬 I am an artist.

💬 I do believe in the power of my work.

💬 I have a voice—and a gift worth sharing.

My Artistic Journey

I create abstract, intuitive artwork that is rooted in emotion and human connection. My art doesn’t always aim to be beautiful in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s honest, raw, and joyful in its authenticity.

So, I’m standing here today, dreams in hand, declaring to the world (and to myself): I am enough. I am ready. And I am wide open to the possibilities that await.

Embracing Possibilities

If not now… then when?

This question resonates deeply with me. It pushes me to take action and embrace the opportunities that life presents.

The Importance of Support

Thank you to Nicholas Wilton and Art2Life for helping me see myself more clearly. Their guidance has been invaluable on this journey of self-discovery.

Overcoming Fear and Self-Doubt

Fear and self-doubt can be paralyzing. However, confronting these feelings is essential. Acknowledging them allows for growth and transformation.

Finding Your Voice

Every artist has a unique voice. Discovering and nurturing this voice is a journey in itself. It requires introspection and courage.

The Role of Community

Surrounding yourself with a supportive community can make a significant difference. Engaging with fellow artists can provide encouragement and inspiration.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the journey of self-discovery as an artist is ongoing. It’s filled with challenges and triumphs. Embrace the questions, confront your fears, and remember: you are enough.
