It’s amazing how some days the ideas and inspiration just flow, allowing for an abundance of incredible works of art to be produced. Yet other times, in can seem grueling just to figure out where to start, how to start, and what to start. . 🖌🎨🖌🎨🖌 . So, how do you keep a more steadily flow of creativity? Well, make time for yourself to do so. This means, make your creative flow your priority. Especially if that’s what you do for a living. Be consistent with providing yourself the right tools, inspiration, and mindset, that you keep your creative pathways open. 😊 . 🎨🖌🎨🖌🎨 . Sometimes this is easier said than done. Especially, if life gets in the way (rather, you get in the way of yourself). So, on that note, days that you can’t be as “creatively” inclined to produce what you know you want to and should, continue with the excerise of creating anyway. It’s like exercising. You need to keep at it, to build up a healthier and more fit you. I think you get the idea. 😉 . 🖌🎨🖌🎨🖌 . “Create with passion!” #creativity #inspirationalflow #deehock #clearmind #creativeabundance #timeforself #artmotivation #quotethis #debbieslivingcanvas #focusonintention #instagramartist https://www.instagram.com/p/B8A4f36nAiR/?igshid=owqtbgdkt2hp

When anxiety overwhelms you, remember to keep the faith, and don’t give in to that fear. See the situation for what it is. Allow yourself to feel the pain, emptiness, and discomfort that life’s challenges will bring. And remember, “that this to shall pass”, so let it. The light will return, and you can then continue on your path with confidence once more. 🙏😊 . 🖌🎨🖌🎨🖌 . #annelamott #faithhealing #selfbelief #empowerment #motivation #focusonintention #innerpower #courage #survival #goingthedistance #lessonslearned (at The Islands, Gilbert, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0is-bDnjgN/?igshid=jeotp298hawy

We all make mistakes, we are human. What we do after, and how we learn from those mistakes makes all the difference. Don’t let your mistakes define you, and consume all of your energy and time. Move forward from that mistake. Have courage, and admit to what you did, and work through the good with the bad, and leave that lesson behind. You can only grow stronger, and be better from the experiences of your mistakes. If you can survive the impact of your mistakes, you can truly go the distance!🙏😊 . 🎨🖌🎨🖌🎨 . #wearehuman #davewillis #innerpower #courage #survival #goingthedistance #lessonslearned #persistence #focusonintention #keystosuccess #liveyourpassion https://www.instagram.com/p/B0bP_lTn6yi/?igshid=fkuqh4prgrwj

“Quality of life rests in the balance.” So, what does balance mean to you? It’s important to put that into perspective for yourself, and work towards living that balance. Only then, can you truly achieve happiness, and a feeling of peace and acceptance, in all areas of your life. . 🖌🎨🖌🎨🖌 . For me balance is the ability to make time for those things that are important to me, and to prioritize accordingly. This can change from week to week, or day to day, depending upon what my goal is for that time. Family, work, and personal development are all important to me, so making sure I have time to effectively “have it all” is key to my sanity. Let’s throw in health and wellness too. You need to make time for that as well. So, the quote for today is about finding what balance means for you. Have a great day!😊😊😊 . 🎨🖌🎨🖌🎨 . #lifebalance #selfawareness #innerstrength #liveyourpassion #focusonintention #gratitude #debbieslivingcanvas #deborahmarsh #entrepreneur #joshuaosenga #worklifebalance https://www.instagram.com/p/B0DzKwAH87T/?igshid=9anqn5k1mo3i

Don’t look at failure as defeat. Defeat is seems more permanent – the end. Failure is more about learning to try again, but with more understanding and clarity. Meaning, don’t make the same mistake twice. In life, we suffer from more failures than successes. Just look at sports, specifically baseball. Just think about how many times a batter will strike out before he gets a base hit. Better yet, think about how many times a batter has to hit before he gets a homerun. Does it make the ball player a loser, a failure, less than good as a player? Absolutely not. That’s the game. “You win some, you lose some.” But you keep playing, and you give it all you got, making adjustments where needed to reach your goal of success! 😊🙏 . 🎨🖌🎨🖌🎨 . #ariannahuffington #failurepartofsuccess #motivationalquotes #instagramartist #debbiescanvas #debbieslivingcanvas #deborahmarsh #liveyourpassion #focusonintention #successquotes #winning https://www.instagram.com/p/BysQcvunuhr/?igshid=1omaz1fs3rf7g

Strength comes from learning to accept things as they are, regardless of how difficult it may be. This could mean letting go to something or someone that is very important to you, or is a big part of your life. However, sometimes it’s those things, those people, that you need to let go of. That you need to except for who and what they are, and to understand that you can’t change them, or stay hoping that things will change or be the way you want them to be or think they should be. Having the strength to let go, to be content with the experience and knowledge from it you have had so far, and to move forward as a more grounded and aware person, ultimately will make you stronger. 💪 . 🎨🖌🎨🖌🎨 . Remember the Serenity Prayer I posted not too long ago “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; And wisdom to know the difference.” Gratitude, self-love, and faith in self, is what will get you through life. So be true to yourself, own your choices, learn from your experience, live your passion, and be active in your intention. Have a great day!🙏😊🙏 . 🖌🎨🖌🎨🖌 . #hermanhesse #serenityprayer #selflove #faithinself #innerstrength #liveyourpassion #focusonintention #gratitude #debbieslivingcanvas #deborahmarsh #entrepreneur https://www.instagram.com/p/ByP7XXgHaei/?igshid=3e18zlzlbfbv

Passing judgement is basically expressing your strong disapproval of something or someone. Although judgement can and does have its place when strategizing on what decisions to make about something or someone for a purpose or task; ultimately, judgment has no place in gratitude and peace of mind, as it creates energy and focus on those things we distrust or are insecure about; or possibly leaving us to dwell on past experiences, instead of learning from them and moving on. . 🎨🖌🎨🖌🎨 . Forgiveness means that you’ve made peace with the pain, and you are ready to let it go. Forgiveness is not about something we do for others, it’s really something we do for ourselves. By allowing yourself to forgive someone or something is not stating that you condone the behavior or action. It simply means that you will not allow yourself to stay trapped within the pain and negative thoughts that prevent you from living a happy and joyful life. Happiness is what we make it. That doesn’t mean that life is lived pain free. It’s simple not that way! . 🖌🎨🖌🎨🖌 . Survival is hard, no matter how simple or challenging we make it or live it. Each day we learn something new. Each day we experience something new. Each day we conquer some pain of some sort, and experience joy of some sort. It could be a small thing, or incredibly large and long lasting. Either way, you choose your path by your reaction, by the focus of your thoughts. You may not be able to control all of it, but if you can focus on how to live through it, you can find joy in your existence. So, focus on forgiveness, gratitude, peace, and joy!🙏😊 . 🎨🖌🎨🖌🎨 . #forgiveness #empowerment #GeraldJampolsky #motivationalquotes #instagramartist #debbiescanvas #debbieslivingcanvas #deborahmarsh #liveyourpassion #focusonintention #judgeless https://www.instagram.com/p/BxfCgzaHd0n/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l28tke6p4d6p

Desmond Tutu has a quote, “Without forgiveness, there’s no future.” This goes right along with the quote by TD Jakes about forgiveness and empowerment. Don’t allow yourself to become in prisoned by the hurt and anger that either others or yourself have brought on upon yourself. Once you relieve yourself of the anger, hurt, and guilt, and realign your thoughts with positivity and focus, that allows yourself to feel free and be empowered to move on with faith and certainty “that this too shall pass.” Forgiveness isn’t about accepting that what has happened is okay. Forgiveness is about releasing the wasted energy and learn from the experience, so that you too can move forward freely with confidence and assurance, that nothing can stop you from living your passion. So, “let it go!”🙏😊🙏 . 🎨🖌🎨🖌🎨 . #forgiveness #empowerment #tdjakes #Desmondtutu #motivationalquotes #instagramartist #debbiescanvas #debbieslivingcanvas #deborahmarsh #liveyourpassion #focusonintention https://www.instagram.com/p/BxZ5BuanevU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17kmbo168b3n1

Part of the healing and moving forward, is not looking back at what was, but using your energy to rebuild what can be. Life can present all kinds of painful storms. It’s how you work through it, how you survive it, and how you can thrive from it. Focus on intention, self-love, gratitude, faith, persistence and perseverance. From that you build your bliss. Have a blessed and productive day!🙏😊 . 🎨🖌🎨🖌🎨 . #leonbrown #weatherthestorm #findyourbliss #healing #focusonintention #selflove #gratitude #faith #faithhealing #dreambig https://www.instagram.com/p/BxPmO_2hFVO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7fv827acneyn

Storms come and go, but regardless of the storm the sun is still shining bright upon the earth. Sometimes we can’t see the sun, because either we are too far away, or our vision is blurred. That doesn’t mean it’s not shining bright. . 🎨🖌🎨🖌🎨 . Have faith in self, and don’t fear or hide from the storms of your life. As you work through it, you’ll see that eventually the storm clears, and what’s left is the sun shining over new beginnings, and what was. The storm cleanses, the sun nourishes. It’s our fear that the storm will never end, or end us, is why we get lost within the midst of it. Confidence, focus, inner strength, patience, persistence, and self-belief will get you through.🙏😊🙏 . 🎨🖌🎨🖌🎨 . #danalovely #sunisshining #weatherthestorm #faith #fearless #faithhealing #dreambig #liveyourpassion #focusonintention #createyourlife #ownyourpower https://www.instagram.com/p/BxH54X1Babh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=enliwry4vuuj

Just like the old saying, “What you believe, you can achieve!” So, don’t waste your mind by filling it with negative thoughts, or fear of failure. Have faith and trust in yourself, that you can do whatever it is that you must or want to do, by focusing on your intention, persistence, patience, perseverance, and never giving up! “Where there is a will, there is certainly a way.” You just need to be open to it. Have a great day!😊🙏😊 . 🎨🖌🎨🖌🎨 . #nolimits #focusonintention #believeachieve #patience #persistence #believe #selflove #selfbelief #faith #liveyourpassion #createyourlife https://www.instagram.com/p/BxAIYlLBUkS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e2kljchky9z5

There is total freedom of having a quiet mind. When you take time out for yourself to meditate, and be tranquil, you allow all the creative juices, and harmony to flow through your entire body – like floating on a cloud. So, relax, and sit quietly. Close your eyes, and allow yourself to get lost in your own inner peace, and release yourself. Have a great day!🙏😊🙏 . 🎨🖌🎨🖌🎨 . #marcustulliuscicero #peacefulmind #innerpeace #ownyourbliss #faithhealing #dreambig #liveyourpassion #focusonintention #createyourlife #ownyourpower #artspirit https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw6-dCGBhvl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hf5smj3gmdy7

When an artist begins to approach the next masterpiece, as if a massive storm of creative energy flows through the artist, as he or she expresses themselves through the various mediums of their craft. The result is this amazing rainbow of beauty and mystery that the artist has crafted. What analogy would you use for the artist and the masterpiece? 🙏😊😉😊 . 🎨🖌🎨🖌🎨 . #matshonadhliwayo #artmotivation #expressyourself #dreambig #liveyourpassion #focusonintention #createyourlife #ownyourpower #artspirit #artmotivation #debbieslivingcanvas https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw1yZ-eB05J/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w4crvg4mhybc
