This week on the show, Sarah, Doreen and Ping are all here to talk about how to stay focused on your own artistic journey. But what is your creative journey? Can you really define it? How do you know when you’re on it or when you’ve fallen off it? And, is there ever an end point? The ladies go into depth on the most personal aspect of being an artist. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
The ladies start the discussion by laying out the importance of knowing what your journey is and what your journey isn’t.
Doreen talks about the importance of being self aware on your journey and stopping along the way to take stock of how far you’ve come. 
Sarah sees her journey not as a single straight line, but as many interconnecting lines that have the potential to take her in directions she never imagined. 
The ladies talk about the importance of not comparing your journey to that of others, especially those you consider to be more successful.

BEST MOMENTS
“Is there an end to your creative journey or is it an ongoing evolution, just like life.”

“Creative satisfaction comes from a combination of doing the things that make you happy and speaking your truth.” 

“Someone might give off the perception of being successful, but you will never know what they are really experiencing, so don’t waste your time comparing yourself to them.”
