I think that focus is so important, but you can do more than one thing at the same time. We all can. I used to think that I could only do one thing at a time to make it be good, but that's not true at all. I can do all of the things and everything that I want to do + be phenomenal in all of them. Every single one. So can you.
It's a learning process to figure out where to put your focus and the actions to take, but as long as you continue to try different things and do the things that you love, you'll know what's really meant for you and what's not.
Being multi-passionate is a powerful thing because there is more than one thing that you can do, that you can create, that you can share with the world. If you're creative in some way, you'll realize that having multiple passions can be better than just having one.
You lean into your curiosity and let your soul lead the way. I stopped trying to control everything I was doing, let go, and started living with the flow of it all. It's about exploring, taking chances, and creating opportunities for yourself doing what you feel.
It’s about not doing anything that you don’t want to do. I hate writing non-fiction, but I knew that I still wanted to share what I had to say in text form. So, I decided to find a way to do it that works for me, and that feels right to me. I use dictation to write all of my non-fiction pieces. I just talk, and it’s typed out.
You see, there’s no wrong or right way to create. You have to do what feels right to you and that you actually enjoy though. Otherwise, you'll never stay consistent with it. There are things that I have to say and that I want to share. Yes, I love creating video and prefer it, but I know that written form feels necessary, too. I'm consistent now because I found a way that works for me that I like doing.
I worry sometimes that I won't be great or even good in some of the things that I'm doing that I love to do and want to do. That doesn't matter though because I can become more than great when I stay consistent and practice. I reject the notion that we can't be spectacular at many things, but only one thing. It's going to be all of the things for me, and I'm going to be beyond great in all of them that I do.
I'm not hesitant anymore. I'm not scared anymore. I don't care anymore whether someone likes what I create or not. I'm still going to do what I feel I need to do and what I love to do, regardless. That's what changes everything, and there's no turning back.
My passions are film, art, and fiction writing. I'm also passionate about watching films and reading novels, short stories, and poetry. I'm even passionate about lifestyle. I created Vegan Beauty Power after all.
These are what I intend to create and share with the world. These are what I think about. These are what I love so much and feel called to do. There's no way I can't do these things. I have to. I must. My soul always tells me, and I always listen.
Be unstoppable with your art. You have the desire for a reason. It was put into your heart to create. I hope you take chances on yourself and your art. The world needs it. The world needs you.
Art comes in many forms. If you are an artist or a creative of any kind, your soul chooses your art form(s) and what they mean. Whatever it is that you do, no matter what it is, there are people in the world who need your art, who will love your art, and who will be eternally grateful for your art. Everyone wants and needs art in their lives in infinite ways.
It doesn't even have to be art. You can be multi-passionate about anything. I talk about art though because that's what I truly love. What are your passions? What do all of your passions mean to you?
Put your all into it. Let it live.
Love,
Jessica
