• Use your creative gift every day, without relying on others for validation or approval.
• Focus on the creative process rather than the outcome, as the process itself is the point.
• Recognise the courage, commitment, and sacrifices you make to pursue your passion, despite the challenges you encounter.
• Shine your light into the world, as the world needs your creativity.
• Remember that you are brilliant, doing your best, and are enough just as you are.
• Acknowledge the emotional turmoil that creative people often face, such as feeling different, undervalued, or misunderstood by others.

BEST MOMENTS

"Being creative takes commitment, it takes courage, grit, graft, gumption, gusto."

"You carry it around like a lead balloon in your gut"

"As outliers, it's our job to throw light into the shade, to show people what's really possible, how to make the most of our thoughts, of each other, of the world we inhabit."

"You are bursting with potential. So stop hiding in plain sight and show yourself."
