It’s Easy to Stop, Hard to Start

As artists, we all face that moment where the pencil feels heavy, the canvas too blank, or the creative spark seems just out of reach. It’s easy to stop drawing. To put it off for another day. But the truth is, starting is the hardest part.

There’s a voice, isn’t there? The one that whispers, “What’s the point? It won’t be good enough.” Don’t listen to it. That voice isn’t yours. It’s fear wearing a clever disguise.

Instead, go and find something that inspires you. A song, a sunset, a conversation, or even the rhythm of the world outside your window. Don’t overthink it. Don’t let the weight of perfection stop you before you begin.

Just create. Even if it’s a messy sketch, a single stroke of color, or a page of scribbled ideas—it counts. It’s movement. It’s progress.

So, today, don’t wait for the perfect moment. Don’t wait for permission. Just start. Because every masterpiece began with a single step.
