Day 1: the journey begins!
you make your path with every step you take 💃

Hi Artists,
Today is the day! Are you ready? (Are we ever really ready?).
In the hero’s journey, this stage is the call to adventure or the call to action. The quest begins! No one knows what will happen, but there’s sure to be tension, excitement, challenges, and growth ahead.
“If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it's not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That's why it's your path.” ― Joseph Campbell
What was your call to action? Or, in other words, what made you want to do the project this year? What’s pulling you? It might be a word, a theme, a mantra, a goal.
Write it down and put it somewhere you’ll see it every day – on your desk or your fridge, the cover of your notebook, the lock screen or wallpaper of your phone or computer.
Exploring your why and keeping it at the forefront of your mind will help you when you get stuck.
As always, you’re welcome and encouraged to share in the comments here.
And when in doubt: KEEP GOING!
XO,
LJT
P.S. If the hero’s journey is new to you, here’s a short video.
I needed to read this today. I woke up thinking can I really do this. I'm not sure but I've decided to try. Thank you.
As I read your Day 1 prompt, what sprang to mind is that I’m being called to show up fully for my own life. Not just life, but Life (with a big L). The life I’m meant to live, with a daring openness to the Creative Energies that would have their way with me. [gulp]
