Give Yourself Permission
Ivonne Karamoy
I've been doing #The100DayProject for 60 days now. That in itself makes me happy. When I first started I had my doubts that I would be able to do something each day for 100 days. But now, past the half-way point I know I'm capable. I think we alone can give ourselves permission. And for me this project gave me permission to set aside time each day to create. It doesn't have to be perfect. Consistency is the key. Discipline is the key. Permission is all we need.
When you keep your head down working or creating each day, no matter how inadequate it seems, when you come up for air you realize that a body of work emerges. That is how careers are made. That is how an artist develops herself. That is how a life is made. After all, how you spend your day each day is how you spend your life.
Do today's work today. Tomorrow, do tomorrow's work. One step at a time, we realize what we are capable of.
