In this episode of Create For No Reason, we dive into a powerful quote often attributed to Leonardo da Vinci: "Art is never finished, only abandoned." Kate reflects on how this concept applies not only to creative work but also to our lives and personal growth. Are there dreams, ideas, or creative pursuits you've abandoned? It’s never too late to pick them back up.
Kate shares:
- What it means to be the artist of your life and how you're creating every day, even if it's not through traditional art forms.
- The importance of showing up for yourself, even when it's difficult, and not abandoning your passions.
- A personal story about how a year-long break from podcasting turned into a powerful return to what brings joy and purpose.
- How we often make excuses for not finishing what we start, and why it’s okay to come back to something after a break.
Key Takeaways:
- Embrace the idea that art (and life) is a continuous journey—what you’re working on doesn’t have to be “finished” to be meaningful.
- It’s never too late to pick up something you’ve abandoned. Whether it's a creative passion or a dream, you can always start again.
- Journaling prompt: Reflect on something in your life that you’ve abandoned and think about why it’s important to bring it back. What could your life look like if you re-engage with it?
If you’ve ever set aside a creative project or a dream, this episode is for you. It’s time to bring it back into your life, and Create For No Reason is here to inspire you to do just that.
