your vision > your numbers
|
Hey Reader! Today I wanted to remind you that the great things you're envisioning for yourself are infinitely more important than your statistical "successes". I saw this YouTube Short recently. And I thought ough that's so real. Numbers follow us absolutely everywhere don't they... and most of the time they carry so much shame. They restrict us and keep us stuck! I'm always amazed by that type of person who is fueled by their own inner creative vision. Someone who doesn't let numbers get to them. They already KNOW their art, their business, their creativity is more than enough. They already trust in their own worth! They don't rely on getting lots of views and followers to feel worthy. It doesn't matter to them whether they stick to habits and "do [thing] X times per week". They put trust in their long-term growth. They never rush through something, because they know their worth doesn't depend on how quickly they finish things. They don't care about achieving X number of things by a certain age. They trust their own vision for life. They know they're gonna make the right decisions for *them*, and it doesn't matter if others judge them. I'd be lying if I said I didn't carry an immense amount of guilt around these things. I'm sure it's normal. But we can choose to be like that person above. The real measure of creative success isn’t in analytics. It’s in the work itself. The work that feels right to you, that means something, that comes from a place of authenticity, connection, and self-expression. Trust your vision and see where it takes you. It might actually change your perception of "success". Much love ✌🏻 Damon 🌱 Stuff I'm Doing Recently 🌱March Week #1 Find me on: Instagram | TikTok |

Hiiii Reader! I don't know about you, but whenever I hear someone saying "create more than you consume" I'm just like oouuughhhh Because they are very right to say that. But also sometimes I just cannot get off this thing 📲📲📲 I'm not here to get all negative about scrolling and make us all feel bad though. I actually wanted to talk about how I'm on a Big Mission to have more self-confidence. Obviously a big part of that for us is going to be creativity and creative work. (I'm also doing a...
Hiiiii Reader 👋🏻 Is it just me... or is everyone starting to sound the same 😐 A lot of my favourite creators and favourite newsletters are melting into a generic-sounding "voice". And it's because of AI content 😬 AI can sound "like you", but it doesn't necessarily feel like you. It uses characteristic phrases and sentence structures that I'm getting really bored of reading. ChatGPT is great. As someone who is easily stressed and struggles with planning and decision-making, it's so useful for...
Goooood morning Reader! Lately I've been doing some new things to reconnect with my creativity (it felt extremely lost the past few years 😅) I've been spending time outside, touching/smelling/looking at plants and stuff to feel more grounded. I've also been playing with paints, pencils, and oil pastels just for funsies. Being online or working on computers, a lot of us are rarely doing stuff that is... physical. We don't really use our body much. (And I don't mean just in terms of exercise,...
