Perfect time to run into the video. I'm really old (almost 77). When I was quite young, I used to love to paint and wanted to be an artist. My mother and I never bonded, even as a very young child. She was always telling me I was lousy. I could have listened to others but she was my mother. Fast forward to now, still have a block that keeps me from doing art. BUT, I volunteer in an small Art Center. We decided to create what we call "Art Journaling for Senior Citizens Club". Since the two girls who run the center could be my grand children, guess who is giving the classes. I'm having to get over it FINALLY. I do Art Journaling, but I never show anyone. We decided on the class last Saturday, and here I am watching this video on Wednesday, while getting together the art supplies which I am providing. Can't disappoint my students. LOL
I don’t know if you are a Christian or not but I just wanted to share this. God woke me up one day and said this “you have the power to choose the life you want”. Those words shook me to the core as I to live with so much self-doubt about myself, art, writing and a victim mentality about life. It has been a journey for me over years but finally I’m seeing the truth. Your video was exactly what I needed to hear today as I am on the precipice of starting some new projects and my anxiety and fear is trying to tell me I’m not good enough. So thanks so much for this and for sharing your journey.
Yes! This is some powerful stuff and the actual truth. We are creators of our own reality and we don't wanna ever forget that! ✨ Thank you for sharing and I wish you a lovely day!
❤ @Melanie i thank you so much for your testimony..it has blessed me today so much so I cried, I thank you, I believe in you, I'm proud of you and I love you but God loves you more, we are overcomers and will overcome anxiety in Jesus name !! Today is day one I revive and live free
That’s crazy bc I’ve been getting a push from Him to go. And it’s been a LOT stronger lately. So many things have popped up and so many things have been told to me concerning my situation that gave me answers to my questions. Through it all my trust in Him grows more and more and I believe more and more that He will hold my hand on this journey ♥️
Hello from Canada 🤗 Thank you for taking the time to share your journey with us. I have also heard that gentle voice. I literally just said to myself about 6 hours ago; "God gave you this gift! Use It! " If you think you are an artist, you are.... Believe in yourself Wishing you all the best 💕
The job of the artist is to practice with your materials everyday. Practice colour mixing until you can make whatever colour you want. Play with every brush you own until you know every kind of stroke they can make. That is how you master technique and how you learn your own style. I have been painting since 1983 and I still have days of doubt. The best advice I ever got was see find the joy and successes in every little bit of your making. Did you make a line was delightlfully elegant? YAY!!!! Did you mix a fabulous green today? YAY!! Did you get lost in the work for a bit? Yay!!! These are all artistic successes.Keep going! Sellable products WILL be the result of this.
Thank you I needed this. I've been putting myself down for many decades, but days ago I was elected as an Art Teacher, by the girls who run our art center, I'm the volunteer and the only one old enough to be running a group called "Art Journaling for Senior Citizens Club." Need a very fast upgrade to my art from many decades ago. LOL
I'm a much older woman who has lived my life in the negative self sabotaging way you described. I've tried for decades to change but have made such small steps. It's hindered my art as well as my life. This year I vow to follow your steps to save my life. Thank you for this video! 💖
Hello Carol. I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling. It's never too late to change your mindset for the better and I believe you can do it. Small steps are better than no steps! I wish you much will to move forward! ✨
@@JaraSafirowska Thank you! I'm so happy that you got this message at such a young age. Your video so inspired me. I'm looking forward to a great year! ❤
I am so glad to read your comment Carol, I truly wish you all the best. Be kind to yourself sweetheart as you deserve it and I hope you update us on how you are going. If you find yourself losing momentum, watch this beautiful video again and also Mel Robins has some fantastic UA-cam videos regarding this also that really help. 😊😊
So true. Fear of success can be as debilitating as fear of failure. I think we can flip flop between the two and both can stop us moving forward. Well said. Your work is lovely.❤
As i spent Christmas alone and Forgotten i was just crying to myself saying Lord im all done I give up I cant do this Anymore as crying i was scrolling on you tube asking god for some sort of help Your Video appeared miraculously The title itself Blessed me ! But the actual Video !! O my goodness you have no idea ! You were completely sharing everything im going through the self doubt the fear being the victim !! My perception is my reality and i can do some things to help me I thank you from the Bottom of my heart ! You have no idea what you have done ❤❤❤
I'm soo happy that the video resonated with you! I too was alone for Christmas this year and I posted this video on Christmas eve with intention of being a gift for someone that is struggling. So thank you for your loving comment! ❤️ I'm sending you all the good vibes and hope you're feeling better!
I've been... Lost for a long time. Over the past several years, I feel that nothing has changed. I can't stop hating myself for being me. For not being good enough. For being useless. For being stupid, forgetful, inconsistent, inattentive and probably a lot more words that makes me the incompetent person i am. Who would even want me to be here alive and breathing precious oxygen. Even if i pass away, i bet you both of them wouldn't want my soul. I want to believe and change but I don't think I can. This... This is how i feel and think EVERY SINGLE D A Y.
Hi! I'm sorry that your inner narrative is so destructive. I have been there on some days and met lots of people who are feeling this way consistently. I have also been really lost and confused as to where I belong on this Earth. I imagine this is really painful for you right now but I believe you can loose your victim mentality and step up to your empowerment. The secret is that we are holding the keys to our own freedom. 🔑 We feel trapped cause we don't see that. I wish you all the right steps to your empowerment and lots of positive energy. ☀
Thank you, Jara, for not giving up - you helped me a lot this e evening. I love watercolors - but want to learn Acrylics now too! DEC 2023, I decided to get new arr supplies and start fresh from life, the outdoors. I have been very sick for a year amd 2 months but now have the wish to excel and push myself again. At 71, i have regrets too - in 1985, my professional artist Grandmother began me in lessons in watercolors.... now want to do acrylics. So Dec 2023, I bought acrylics - and i want to push myself daily to paint. My daughter died 8 yrs ago and i stopped art - i want it back now. I am happy I found you! You gave me COURAGE again! I'm in Texas! Thank you for believing in us! ❤
Thank you for sharing and your words of encouragement. 🙏 I'm so sorry about your daughter. I have thoughts on regret and will do a video about it in the near future. It is never to late to do what you love and I'm very glad you're picking up paint brush again. 🎨
I just wish you all the luck in the whole world as artist. This video resonated with me big time. I´m not a painter, but a musician but I think your thoughts applies universally to all who perform any form of art. Way too often I have said to myself, "I will never succeed", but now realizing that the only thing that holds me back is my self. We need to step out of the warm cosy comfort zone and step out to the scary world exposing our art as it is; naked, real and with the power too touch the audience in a life changing way. Art can be a powerful thing.
Thank you for your lovely comment! My videos apply to all creatives so I'm glad also a musician is watching. :) I totally agree with what you're saying. "I will not succeed" narrative is blocking our own way of freedom and success. I also wish you all the success in your career and I believe you will make something great of it! 🤞✨
Thank you for this. I am stuck in the field of believing I am not good enough. This video is motivating. You are more than an artist. You know the truth of who you really are. Thanks for reminding me I can do this too!
Wise, reflective thoughts from a young artist. Whatever one’s age the artist’s journey can be lonely; especially as creative aspiration rarely matches one’s own and other’s expectations. The sobering truth is there is no universal template for artists having a long, productive and meaningful life. An indefatigable constitution helps, along with loyal, loving friends and an ability to love oneself.
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your thoughts. I agree, it can be lonely and there is no template. But if I look at this optimistically, It's kind of magical that we all get to carve our own unique path. Templates and manuals are somewhat boring in my opinion. Have an inspiring day! 🌷
Thank you so much! I felt alone. I have had a lot of health problems, but my art was my happy place and was starting to see support and success. Something happened the moment I met my artist idols, I felt completely unworthy and a complete failure. It had nothing to do with them; they were the most warm inviting group ever. They were absolutely wonderful; it was all me. I tried to paint just for fairs and markets, but instead I never made one post or one picture nor did I go to the fairs 😢 I haven’t painted since October. I NEED to throw some paint! 💖🙏🏻
Thank you for this wonderful video. I'm am artist and also struggle with everything you mentioned in your video. I have been thinking a lot about all my misconceptions about being an artist. I believe 2024 will be the year that I really start to challenge and change those belief systems. Peace and joy to you.
Thank you for your encouraging comment. I'm so glad you liked the video! We all grow up at different times for different things. I have some wisdom in this area but am lacking in some others. The only thing important is that we keep evolving authentically. Thank you again and have a lovely day! 🌷
Wow! What a beautifully made video and sweetheart your artistic talent is incredible! ❤ Your paintings are truly gorgeous and you have given back to me my hope for my artistic future. A thousand times thank you. For your story, your honesty and your encouragement. It is so greatly appreciated. My artwork is in a different type of media, but I greatly admire your natural, amazing talent in painting. Your attention to detail is incredible. From one artist to another, I wish you all the luck in the world ❤
Words cannot express how much I needed this - thank you SO much for this down to earth, sweet and empowering video! This was exactly what I needed to stop imprisoning myself via negative thoughts and break out instead, with a fresh, up-beat mindset! Also - your art is GORGEOUS! Absolutely beautiful! I am so glad you didn't let yourself stop you from pursuing it and succeeding! 🥰 May 2024 be grand for us all! 💝
Thank you for your kind and encouraging thoughts! I'm so glad you found this video just in time and I believe 2024 will be a magical year! ✨ I wish you an inspiring day! 🌷
❤ This is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you so much. You are a wonderful artist. This is the year I shall believe in myself again too. It is perplexing how we fear success when we start to make a very positive go of things, as I did in 2023 with my art, including gallery sales. You really have no idea how this assists me, and I'm sure countless others. Thank you for being inspired to share your experience. Have a lovely day and year as well!!! 🎉❤🎉
I nearly burst into tears when you said you were proud of those who are doing the self work. It's an inner journey that rarely gets acknowledged by anyone but yourself. If felt so good to hear that. Thank you too! The only way we can change the world is if we start with ourselves. When enough people realize this, everything else will fall into place. Sending so much love and gratitude. 💗
Thank you for your lovely comment! Yes! The inner work is usually hidden from the outside world and because of that we can sometimes "gaslight" ourselves that we're not doing important work. But in reality, inner work is one of the most important works of all! 😊 Sending you even more love! 💕
I'm a teen artist. I, myself, usually discouraged myself as i see other people around my age being more successful than me, and it really hurts me. I really like art, I usually go around places plenty of green to see Nature in action. Incredible how Mother Nature created a whole gallery of masterpieces through out the years. I was affascinated by it, impressed, inspired and motivated by it. This, made able to search for details and feel every texture of it. The only thing that i was missing was the love in my art. I wasn't able to like since I'm still a rookie. But i hope, that one day, later or sooner, i will be able to. In these days I'm starting to love paintings, what's your favourite?
Thank you for your comment. Being an artist is challenging and it comes with lots of struggles to overcome. I'm not sure I understand your question. But if you're asking what is my favorite painting, I don't really have it. There's a lot of paintings I like. :) Have a lovely day! ✨
It was like listening to myself when you spoke about fear of success. Never even realised other people have it. My frustration is no organisation in my life. I published my first children’s book and on the process of my second book yet the social media side of things are difficult as sometimes I feel it’s putting on a fake persona so that people can buy my book or maybe I told myself that because I fear success. So I understand how you felt. The competition seems too much. I am also a professional artist yet doubt my ability even though I have a lot of positive feedback. I lost my job and my home, and painting in a small loft. I have lost everything though still have my brushes and paint have faith that I will also be posting a you tube feed just like yours to celebrate my success, thank you so much for your video. Makes me feel I am not alone ❤
Hi! I'm so glad that this video helped you and I'm sorry you're going through tough times right now. Yes ... we have this internal beliefs about ourselves that determine how we act and what we attract. I thought that there were not enough people in the world that would like my art and that there was so many better artists that I could never succeed and be happy. Also that job of professional artist was too good to be true and the world was just too unfair for me. But those were just my internal beliefs that I projected into my reality. When I started shifting the beliefs, my physical reality started to shift for the better almost immediately. :) I wish you lots of luck and I believe you're gonna come back on the other side as a wise, successful artist! Have a lovely day! ✨
Thank you for this video I too went on a journey back in April of 23. I discovered woodworking crafts…and ended painting pictures, which is my real passion. I have struggled with self doubt and sabotaging my own path. I’m finally coming out of the “darkness” so to speak. I have a long way to go still. Thank God he hasn’t given up on me. I’m subscribing and excited to see what you do
Thank you so much Jara you just described me to me. Exactly. Thank you because I had given up. I am so glad for you that you did not give up and continued an sc sent out this video because this is an inspiration to me to keep going. I have just subscribed to your channel. Keep going Jara And I hope to get myself off the ground and start something as well. Those paintings are beautiful. Have a great 2024. May it be a year of prosperity happiness, peace and to you and me and all watching this video. Love Susan ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Hi Susan! I'm so happy that the video inspired you! Yes, I believe we all would benefit from being more conscious of our inner narratives about life. Let's shape them into what we want, into hope and positive outlook. Thank you for the lovely wishes. I wish you a great 2024 also and I believe in you! 🌷💕
Hmm, Very good. You have set yourself free! I'm working on doing the same but it does seem like a battle of my will v.s old bad habits . Anyway this video cheered me on, hearing of your success.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It is never a 100% for me. I still have my bad days and bad habits that I work on and there is always something to improve. It is important to celebrate your journey wherever you're at because only with gratitude and acceptance, you can move further towards your inner freedom. Trying to be a better and freer person is in my opinion a success by itself. Wishing you a lovely day! 🏰
Tahnk you so much for your thoughts! It is so good to know that I am not alone with it. It was a good reminder to believe in myself and allow myself to be success. Wish you a wonderful start in the new year 2024! :)
this is exactly what I've been coming to realize too, it's so crazy watching this, it's almost the exact same thoughts I had for myself. Thank you for this! It's encouraging to see someone doing this and flourishing.
Beautiful art from beautiful girl with a beautiful soul. You are making so much sense, we all know this things I guess, but realization from within is the only authentic way. I hope I follow your path soon, I struggle with traumas, broken heart, oppressed and unresolved feelings, betrays, procrastination, depression and what not. Painting could be a drag as well, or at least could catalyze additional self doubt and too much introspection. I refuse to draw for years because of it. But in the end this same too emotional side of me needs some outlet. Getting finally my control over the way I see the world is the best advice to end this year.
Thank you for your lovely, honest comment. I feel you about internal conflicts and struggles. I admire your self-awareness. I believe you're gonna find a way to heal and return to some creative outlets soon. I'm sending you good vibes and the good times in the new year! ✨
I was really into art and painting as a teenager and I was painting a bit back then. But "you'll never make a living as an artist" was ingrained in me and I quit art nearly completely from 18 years old and just wandered from job to job and education to education, never finding anything or finishing anything. Then I started painting again at 26 years old and now I'm 29 and I'm posting my work on Instagram and Facebook and teaching an art class. I'm still practicing and it nags me that I gave up so early and skipped all these years I could have been painting and getting better. I'm realising an old dream and that's very satisfying.
I'm sorry you gave up early on your art career but it's never too late. :) I like to think of the time "wasted" as my incubation period. Like a preparation and growing on the inside so one day I can step forward and set myself free. I couldn't do it if I wasn't growing and preparing subcounsiously for all that "wasted time". I hope that makes sense. 😊
What you said about forgiveness hit me very hard. In a positive way of course. I haven’t yet found a way to forgive a person in my family. I’ve tried. And it’s hurting me greatly. Thank you for sharing your story. Like you said, though we KNOW our mind can change our perception, do we really WANT to change our perception? I’m not blowing air when I say “you’ve profoundly helped me today”. God Bless You. ❤
Thank you for sharing your struggle! I hope you will find forgiveness and peace for yourself. 🙏🌷 I'm so glad to hear that the video helped you! Have a lovely day! ✨
It's really fascinating how simple the solution is but a lot of us stumble around before getting to that solution -- that our mind has all the answers. Thank you algorithm for sending this video to me. And thank you Jara for the video 💖 wishing you great success this 2024 year!!!
Yes, the simplicity of this solution really is almost funny to me. 😅 Thank you for your kindness! I also thank the algorithm for sending you here! I wish you all the magic in the upcoming year! ✨
I loved this video! You are so right. Thanks for sharing your journey through self-doubt...I think so many people will appreciate the sentiment behind this.
I've been struggling extremely hard lately, and this video came at the right time. Thank you. You've inspired me to change my thinking. I feel much better now. Thank you so much.❤
A beautiful and incredible message that was well stated. I too am an artist that has been struggling with this. Thank you. I wish you the best in 2024.
Thank you so much!!! I'm an artist and i've been lately worried a lot about *ART SYLE*. I can't help but feel discouraged when i see someone else's artwork... My mind instantly goes like: that's it. You suck... I've been drawing so many sketches and whenever i am about to start the shading/coloring process, those thoughts come back again and i end up drawing another sketch instead. I really have been so hard on myself lately. This video spoke to me and i do resonate with everything you said. Thank you again!🦋💜
I love all your paintings fabulous love your video i changed my life this year having like minds to chat with my pets gives me great company they are always happy souls. This year I am doing many things I wanted to do my calling is my readings give to many people uplifting their lives we all need to stand in our power new doors are to open this year for everyone who wants a new door many new doors out there. Happy uplifting lives for us all this year.
I really appreciated this video & forget often my thoughts have the power to change my reality. Being positive is truly a skill that needs training and I will work on strengthening it. Thanks for sharing your insightful words!! ✨
Thanks for sharing your story and encouragement! Have you read The War of Art? It describes that paralyzing force of fear and shame as Resistance, which is often strongest near the finish line. I too am taking a shot and am afraid of success, but your video has inspired me and filled me with peace. I hope you achieve all your goals in life. Blessings 🙏
Hi! No I didn't read it but it sounds interesting! I will definitely consider reading it in the near future! Thank you for recommendation. We're in this together! I wish you all the courage you will need! 🙏🌷
You have been very good all your life to my knowledge I know your arts really inspired whole a lot It was the begining Without your art of. inspiration completely I would be nothing Keep doing it One day all your dreams come true If not all you get what you deserved Thank you very much inspiring alot Good luck what ever you do! Viva Viva!!!
This has been my problem for years and now I really want to try and make this a career. This has been my dream since I was a child, to be a full time artist. Thank you for this video
This was lovely. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I was amazed at how similar I felt to the ideas you shared. It was a really nice way to start my day. We really do "attract" don't we. ❤
I am sitting here, at my laptop, at 3:30 in the morning... Wondering, what I have achieved in my 54 years on this planet, and your video could not have come at a more auspicious time! I too, was once an artist that struggled with the victim mentality and ran away from impending success. Every time any of my artwork would reach a modicum of recognition, I would pull away and believe this was only a "fluke." On top of that, I also became very disappointed with the art scene and how exclusive and elitist it can be. This year (2024) I have decided to return to creativity. I miss it... Terribly! It's what kept me sane in a busy, overwhelming world (I am autistic.) I use to create art to "fit in," be appreciated and recognised. Now, I want to create art because I simply love making stuff. Thank you for sharing your story with all of us. It has had a massive impact on me, and I am truly grateful to you. May your art journey be filled with joy and success (however you define it.) Many blessings from Australia.
Thank you for this kind comment and your story. I'm so happy that you enjoyed this video. Yes.. I also suffered from the "fluke" syndrome. But no more. Now we take our life into our own hands and create art for ourselves. ✨ I'm excited for your journey ahead and I'm sending you much love from Slovenia! 🌷
Yes! The imposter syndrome it’s called . Most successful people suffer from it.. its childhood trauma: you aren’t good enough. Your dad or mum never embraced and praised your talents or strengths. You are very talented and you are amazing, a note from the past.
Yes, imposter syndrome is definitely a part of it. But I also like to think that it is a brain function that simply wants to keep us in the known. If we never had success and we through time get comfortable in our misery, the brain gets used to it and it's hard to move on to the better things. In any case ... Thank you for your insightful comment! I wish you a lovely and inspiring day! ✨
fear of success, of changing the familiar for something better but much more demanding maybe , as a victimhood might serve us better... Games people play , I suggest you read that :)
Thank you so much for this video. After watching this, something is change deep in my body. I'm art teacher, working in school last 18 years...and I'm so tired of teaching (I love my class, people, pupils, everything....but, I'm tired). From last year I started feeling something like burnout. Also, feel fear of change anything (I've got 2 children, I need some secure income...). However, I need change. For me, never is too late. When we alive, not sick, we can do some change in are life. Never give up. All I really know is: never stop dreaming, and fear is are biggest enemy. PS: Where are you living? There so beautiful nature around you.❤
Thank you for your insightful comment! 🙏 You seem like a smart and courageous person. Maybe you've outgrown your old career. We change and evolve all the time. It happens to me a lot that I feel something is an exciting challenge and through time the same thing becomes so tiring. I wish for you to find a new path that will bring you happiness and fulfilment. ✨🌷
Thank you Jara! I really enjoyed that video, verry calm and inspiring. I wish you all the best, keep going! We need more people like you in this world!
Thanks for sharing. Sounds like you're just one of us artists. 😅 But you have the power to take it a bit more chill and with compassion towards yourself. Hang in there. We're all in this together.
I feel like, even if I really don’t like what I created I learned something from the “ mistakes “. Also there is always something I do like in the painting.
I am not afraid of success at all. I have struggled. sacrificed, sweated and strived for it. I let go a while ago and don't care anymore. I am not in control of much of my life now, but thats ok. Someday i may be again.
BEAUTIFUL PAINTINGS YOU DO ! I LOVE YOUR VIDEO'S,THEY CONVEY THE ESSENSE OF YOURSELF AND YOUR WORLD. THANK YOU FOR SHARING. WHERE IS THIS BEAUTIFUL PLACE? WHAT COUNTRY? WHAREA? I LIKE TO EXPLORE THE WORLD ...ONLY THROUGH THE TRAVELS I CAN DO ONLINE! AGAIN ,THANKS FOR MAKING THESE VIDEO'S AND SHARING YOUR LIFE,AS A WOMAN WHO HAS GONE THROUGH MUCH TRIAL AND STILL DO,IT HELPS TO SEE THESE TYPE VIDEOS HERE AND THERE. GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP BEING POSITIVE...GOD LOVES YOU DEAR,VERY MUCH!
Perfect time to run into the video. I'm really old (almost 77). When I was quite young, I used to love to paint and wanted to be an artist. My mother and I never bonded, even as a very young child. She was always telling me I was lousy. I could have listened to others but she was my mother. Fast forward to now, still have a block that keeps me from doing art. BUT, I volunteer in an small Art Center. We decided to create what we call "Art Journaling for Senior Citizens Club".

Good luck with your upcoming class. I hope you have a fun day
@@KRIS-gr5hn Thank you, I just hope I'm not the one making people laugh.
Thank you for your comment! I'm so happy the video helped you!
It is never to late to do what makes us happy! 😊
I am so proud of you! And I hope one day, I’ll find this opportunity, too.
I don’t know if you are a Christian or not but I just wanted to share this. God woke me up one day and said this “you have the power to choose the life you want”. Those words shook me to the core as I to live with so much self-doubt about myself, art, writing and a victim mentality about life. It has been a journey for me over years but finally I’m seeing the truth. Your video was exactly what I needed to hear today as I am on the precipice of starting some new projects and my anxiety and fear is trying to tell me I’m not good enough. So thanks so much for this and for sharing your journey.
Amen 🎉
Yes! This is some powerful stuff and the actual truth. We are creators of our own reality and we don't wanna ever forget that! ✨ Thank you for sharing and I wish you a lovely day!
❤ @Melanie i thank you so much for your testimony..it has blessed me today so much so I cried, I thank you, I believe in you, I'm proud of you and I love you but God loves you more, we are overcomers and will overcome anxiety in Jesus name !! Today is day one I revive and live free
That’s crazy bc I’ve been getting a push from Him to go. And it’s been a LOT stronger lately. So many things have popped up and so many things have been told to me concerning my situation that gave me answers to my questions. Through it all my trust in Him grows more and more and I believe more and more that He will hold my hand on this journey ♥️
Hello from Canada 🤗
Thank you for taking the time to share your journey with us. I have also heard that gentle voice.
I literally just said to myself about 6 hours ago;
"God gave you this gift! Use It! "
If you think you are an artist, you are.... Believe in yourself
Wishing you all the best 💕
The job of the artist is to practice with your materials everyday. Practice colour mixing until you can make whatever colour you want. Play with every brush you own until you know every kind of stroke they can make. That is how you master technique and how you learn your own style. I have been painting since 1983 and I still have days of doubt. The best advice I ever got was see find the joy and successes in every little bit of your making. Did you make a line was delightlfully elegant? YAY!!!! Did you mix a fabulous green today? YAY!! Did you get lost in the work for a bit? Yay!!! These are all artistic successes.Keep going! Sellable products WILL be the result of this.
This is beautifully said. Thank you for your wise words! 🎨
Omggg Love this !!! Omgosh, im gonna print it out and put it on my fridge !! Thank You !!
Thank you I needed this. I've been putting myself down for many decades, but days ago I was elected as an Art Teacher, by the girls who run our art center, I'm the volunteer and the only one old enough to be running a group called "Art Journaling for Senior Citizens Club." Need a very fast upgrade to my art from many decades ago. LOL
I'm a much older woman who has lived my life in the negative self sabotaging way you described. I've tried for decades to change but have made such small steps. It's hindered my art as well as my life. This year I vow to follow your steps to save my life. Thank you for this video! 💖
Hello Carol. I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling.
It's never too late to change your mindset for the better and I believe you can do it. Small steps are better than no steps! I wish you much will to move forward! ✨
@@JaraSafirowska Thank you! I'm so happy that you got this message at such a young age. Your video so inspired me. I'm looking forward to a great year! ❤
I am older too. Sometimes I think , “ who cares if I make art?” Family only notices if I don’t cook or clean! But I care! I want to make art !
There are a lot of older women making art. I watch videos about older artists for inspiration. You can do this! Feed your soul with art!
I am so glad to read your comment Carol, I truly wish you all the best. Be kind to yourself sweetheart as you deserve it and I hope you update us on how you are going. If you find yourself losing momentum, watch this beautiful video again and also Mel Robins has some fantastic UA-cam videos regarding this also that really help. 😊😊
So true. Fear of success can be as debilitating as fear of failure. I think we can flip flop between the two and both can stop us moving forward. Well said. Your work is lovely.❤
Yes, that's a big realization.
Thank you for your lovely comment! ✨
As i spent Christmas alone and Forgotten i was just crying to myself saying Lord im all done I give up I cant do this Anymore as crying i was scrolling on you tube asking god for some sort of help Your Video appeared miraculously The title itself Blessed me ! But the actual Video !! O my goodness you have no idea ! You were completely sharing everything im going through the self doubt the fear being the victim !! My perception is my reality and i can do some things to help me
I thank you from the Bottom of my heart ! You have no idea what you have done ❤❤❤
I'm soo happy that the video resonated with you! I too was alone for Christmas this year and I posted this video on Christmas eve with intention of being a gift for someone that is struggling. So thank you for your loving comment! ❤️ I'm sending you all the good vibes and hope you're feeling better!
You are not alone. Look how many are here, sharing.
Many of us struggle with self-doubt. Thank you for sharing your words of wisdom and inspiration. 🎨 ❤
We're in this together and we're not giving up! ❤️ Thank you for watching and for your lovely comment!
I've been... Lost for a long time. Over the past several years, I feel that nothing has changed. I can't stop hating myself for being me. For not being good enough. For being useless. For being stupid, forgetful, inconsistent, inattentive and probably a lot more words that makes me the incompetent person i am. Who would even want me to be here alive and breathing precious oxygen. Even if i pass away, i bet you both of them wouldn't want my soul. I want to believe and change but I don't think I can.
This... This is how i feel and think EVERY SINGLE D A Y.
Hi! I'm sorry that your inner narrative is so destructive. I have been there on some days and met lots of people who are feeling this way consistently. I have also been really lost and confused as to where I belong on this Earth.
I imagine this is really painful for you right now but I believe you can loose your victim mentality and step up to your empowerment. The secret is that we are holding the keys to our own freedom. 🔑 We feel trapped cause we don't see that.
I wish you all the right steps to your empowerment and lots of positive energy. ☀
Thank you, Jara, for not giving up - you helped me a lot this e evening. I love watercolors - but want to learn Acrylics now too! DEC 2023, I decided to get new arr supplies and start fresh from life, the outdoors. I have been very sick for a year amd 2 months but now have the wish to excel and push myself again. At 71, i have regrets too - in 1985, my professional artist Grandmother began me in lessons in watercolors.... now want to do acrylics. So Dec 2023, I bought acrylics - and i want to push myself daily to paint. My daughter died 8 yrs ago and i stopped art - i want it back now. I am happy I found you! You gave me COURAGE again! I'm in Texas! Thank you for believing in us! ❤
Thank you for sharing and your words of encouragement. 🙏
I'm so sorry about your daughter. I have thoughts on regret and will do a video about it in the near future.
It is never to late to do what you love and I'm very glad you're picking up paint brush again. 🎨
This video is beautiful. Your tone of voice, the pace of the video, your beautiful art work and the message is so precious. Keep moving forward.
I'm so glad you like the video!
Thank you for your encouraging words and
have a lovely day! ☀️
I just wish you all the luck in the whole world as artist. This video resonated with me big time. I´m not a painter, but a musician but I think your thoughts applies universally to all who perform any form of art. Way too often I have said to myself, "I will never succeed", but now realizing that the only thing that holds me back is my self. We need to step out of the warm cosy comfort zone and step out to the scary world exposing our art as it is; naked, real and with the power too touch the audience in a life changing way. Art can be a powerful thing.
Thank you for your lovely comment! My videos apply to all creatives so I'm glad also a musician is watching. :) I totally agree with what you're saying. "I will not succeed" narrative is blocking our own way of freedom and success.
I also wish you all the success in your career and I believe you will make something great of it! 🤞✨
Thank you for this. I am stuck in the field of believing I am not good enough. This video is motivating. You are more than an artist. You know the truth of who you really are. Thanks for reminding me I can do this too!
I'm so glad to hear that this video was helpful to you! 😊
Have a lovely day! ✨
Я сейчас прохожу тоже самое что и вы. Мне действительно нужно было услышать вашу историю, мне стало гораздо лучше. Спасибо вам. Вы прекрасны ✨
Wise, reflective thoughts from a young artist. Whatever one’s age the artist’s journey can be lonely; especially as creative aspiration rarely matches one’s own and other’s expectations.
The sobering truth is there is no universal template for artists having a long, productive and meaningful life. An indefatigable constitution helps, along with loyal, loving friends and an ability to love oneself.
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your thoughts.
I agree, it can be lonely and there is no template. But if I look at this optimistically, It's kind of magical that we all get to carve our own unique path. Templates and manuals are somewhat boring in my opinion.
Have an inspiring day! 🌷
Thank you so much! I felt alone. I have had a lot of health problems, but my art was my happy place and was starting to see support and success. Something happened the moment I met my artist idols, I felt completely unworthy and a complete failure. It had nothing to do with them; they were the most warm inviting group ever. They were absolutely wonderful; it was all me. I tried to paint just for fairs and markets, but instead I never made one post or one picture nor did I go to the fairs 😢 I haven’t painted since October. I NEED to throw some paint! 💖🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing! I'm go happy this video helped you! 🥰
I wish you much self compassion and sparks of inspiration in the upcoming year! ✨
What thoughtful, generous, and delightful art, words, music, and video! Thank you! 😁🙌🙏

What a great video - badly needed in today's world - thank you and I wish you every success.
I'm glad you liked it! Thank you! ✨
Thank you for this wonderful video. I'm am artist and also struggle with everything you mentioned in your video. I have been thinking a lot about all my misconceptions about being an artist. I believe 2024 will be the year that I really start to challenge and change those belief systems. Peace and joy to you.
Thank you so much for sharing!
I believe you will thrive in 2024.
Lots of peace and joy to you too! 🌼
Wise words. I wish I'd understood this better when I was much, much younger. Please keep doing your art and living your happy life!
Thank you for your encouraging comment. I'm so glad you liked the video!
We all grow up at different times for different things. I have some wisdom in this area but am lacking in some others.
The only thing important is that we keep evolving authentically.
Thank you again and have a lovely day! 🌷
Wow! What a beautifully made video and sweetheart your artistic talent is incredible! ❤ Your paintings are truly gorgeous and you have given back to me my hope for my artistic future. A thousand times thank you. For your story, your honesty and your encouragement. It is so greatly appreciated. My artwork is in a different type of media, but I greatly admire your natural, amazing talent in painting. Your attention to detail is incredible. From one artist to another, I wish you all the luck in the world ❤
Thank you for this sweet comment!
I'm so happy you enjoyed the video and I wish you all the magic in your creative endeavours! ✨
This is such an important message, thank you for posting this. ❤
Thank you for watching! 💕
Beautiful work! Lovely
Thank you! :)
Words cannot express how much I needed this - thank you SO much for this down to earth, sweet and empowering video! This was exactly what I needed to stop imprisoning myself via negative thoughts and break out instead, with a fresh, up-beat mindset!
Also - your art is GORGEOUS! Absolutely beautiful! I am so glad you didn't let yourself stop you from pursuing it and succeeding! 🥰
May 2024 be grand for us all! 💝
Thank you for your kind and encouraging thoughts!
I'm so glad you found this video just in time and I believe 2024 will be a magical year! ✨
I wish you an inspiring day! 🌷
❤ This is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you so much. You are a wonderful artist. This is the year I shall believe in myself again too. It is perplexing how we fear success when we start to make a very positive go of things, as I did in 2023 with my art, including gallery sales. You really have no idea how this assists me, and I'm sure countless others. Thank you for being inspired to share your experience. Have a lovely day and year as well!!! 🎉❤🎉
I'm so glad this video helped you!! ✨
I wish you all the magic in your journey!
I nearly burst into tears when you said you were proud of those who are doing the self work. It's an inner journey that rarely gets acknowledged by anyone but yourself. If felt so good to hear that. Thank you too! The only way we can change the world is if we start with ourselves. When enough people realize this, everything else will fall into place. Sending so much love and gratitude. 💗
Thank you for your lovely comment!
Yes! The inner work is usually hidden from the outside world and because of that we can sometimes "gaslight" ourselves that we're not doing important work. But in reality, inner work is one of the most important works of all! 😊
Sending you even more love! 💕
I'm a teen artist.
I, myself, usually discouraged myself as i see other people around my age being more successful than me, and it really hurts me.
I really like art, I usually go around places plenty of green to see Nature in action. Incredible how Mother Nature created a whole gallery of masterpieces through out the years.
I was affascinated by it, impressed, inspired and motivated by it.
This, made able to search for details and feel every texture of it.
The only thing that i was missing was the love in my art. I wasn't able to like since I'm still a rookie. But i hope, that one day, later or sooner, i will be able to.
In these days I'm starting to love paintings, what's your favourite?
Thank you for your comment. Being an artist is challenging and it comes with lots of struggles to overcome.
I'm not sure I understand your question. But if you're asking what is my favorite painting, I don't really have it. There's a lot of paintings I like. :)
Have a lovely day! ✨
@@JaraSafirowska thank you!
It was like listening to myself when you spoke about fear of success. Never even realised other people have it. My frustration is no organisation in my life. I published my first children’s book and on the process of my second book yet the social media side of things are difficult as sometimes I feel it’s putting on a fake persona so that people can buy my book or maybe I told myself that because I fear success. So I understand how you felt. The competition seems too much. I am also a professional artist yet doubt my ability even though I have a lot of positive feedback. I lost my job and my home, and painting in a small loft. I have lost everything though still have my brushes and paint have faith that I will also be posting a you tube feed just like yours to celebrate my success, thank you so much for your video. Makes me feel I am not alone ❤
Hi! I'm so glad that this video helped you and I'm sorry you're going through tough times right now. Yes ... we have this internal beliefs about ourselves that determine how we act and what we attract. I thought that there were not enough people in the world that would like my art and that there was so many better artists that I could never succeed and be happy. Also that job of professional artist was too good to be true and the world was just too unfair for me. But those were just my internal beliefs that I projected into my reality. When I started shifting the beliefs, my physical reality started to shift for the better almost immediately. :)
I wish you lots of luck and I believe you're gonna come back on the other side as a wise, successful artist!
Have a lovely day! ✨
Thank you for this video
I too went on a journey back in April of 23.
I discovered woodworking crafts…and ended painting pictures, which is my real passion.
I have struggled with self doubt and sabotaging my own path.
I’m finally coming out of the “darkness” so to speak.
I have a long way to go still.
Thank God he hasn’t given up on me.
I’m subscribing and excited to see what you do
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for subscribing!
I wish you lots of creativity in your artistic endeavours! ✨
Thank you so much Jara you just described me to me. Exactly. Thank you because I had given up. I am so glad for you that you did not give up and continued an sc sent out this video because this is an inspiration to me to keep going. I have just subscribed to your channel. Keep going Jara And I hope to get myself off the ground and start something as well. Those paintings are beautiful. Have a great 2024. May it be a year of prosperity happiness, peace and to you and me and all watching this video. Love Susan ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Hi Susan!
I'm so happy that the video inspired you!
Yes, I believe we all would benefit from being more conscious of our inner narratives about life. Let's shape them into what we want, into hope and positive outlook.
Thank you for the lovely wishes.
I wish you a great 2024 also and I believe in you! 🌷💕
Hmm, Very good. You have set yourself free! I'm working on doing the same but it does seem like a battle of my will v.s old bad habits . Anyway this video cheered me on, hearing of your success.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
It is never a 100% for me. I still have my bad days and bad habits that I work on and there is always something to improve. It is important to celebrate your journey wherever you're at because only with gratitude and acceptance, you can move further towards your inner freedom.
Trying to be a better and freer person is in my opinion a success by itself.
Wishing you a lovely day! 🏰
You inspire me...and I needed it so...thank you, God bless your life's journey.
All that's good and pure and true, set your mind on these things 😊💕
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for your lovely wishes! ✨

Tahnk you so much for your thoughts! It is so good to know that I am not alone with it. It was a good reminder to believe in myself and allow myself to be success. Wish you a wonderful start in the new year 2024! :)
Thank you for your comment and lovely wishes! You're definitely not alone and I wish you a wonderful start of 2024 as well! :)
I love Lake Bled! We stayed there for a week and it was beautiful. 🙂
this is exactly what I've been coming to realize too, it's so crazy watching this, it's almost the exact same thoughts I had for myself. Thank you for this! It's encouraging to see someone doing this and flourishing.
I'm so glad you liked the video!
It's nice to hear you're going through similar process! We're all healing from our limiting mindset here! 🙏✨
Beautiful art from beautiful girl with a beautiful soul.
You are making so much sense, we all know this things I guess, but realization from within is the only authentic way.
I hope I follow your path soon, I struggle with traumas, broken heart, oppressed and unresolved feelings, betrays, procrastination, depression and what not.
Painting could be a drag as well, or at least could catalyze additional self doubt and too much introspection. I refuse to draw for years because of it. But in the end this same too emotional side of me needs some outlet. Getting finally my control over the way I see the world is the best advice to end this year.
Thank you for your lovely, honest comment.
I feel you about internal conflicts and struggles. I admire your self-awareness. I believe you're gonna find a way to heal and return to some creative outlets soon.
I'm sending you good vibes and the good times in the new year! ✨
I was really into art and painting as a teenager and I was painting a bit back then. But "you'll never make a living as an artist" was ingrained in me and I quit art nearly completely from 18 years old and just wandered from job to job and education to education, never finding anything or finishing anything. Then I started painting again at 26 years old and now I'm 29 and I'm posting my work on Instagram and Facebook and teaching an art class. I'm still practicing and it nags me that I gave up so early and skipped all these years I could have been painting and getting better. I'm realising an old dream and that's very satisfying.
I'm sorry you gave up early on your art career but it's never too late. :)
I like to think of the time "wasted" as my incubation period. Like a preparation and growing on the inside so one day I can step forward and set myself free. I couldn't do it if I wasn't growing and preparing subcounsiously for all that "wasted time".
I hope that makes sense. 😊
Thank you for this . This was important for not just artists
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you like the video. ☺
Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your journey and perspective as an Artist ❤.
Thank you for your lovely comment! 🌷
I'm honored to share my journey with you!
What you said about forgiveness hit me very hard. In a positive way of course. I haven’t yet found a way to forgive a person in my family. I’ve tried. And it’s hurting me greatly. Thank you for sharing your story. Like you said, though we KNOW our mind can change our perception, do we really WANT to change our perception? I’m not blowing air when I say “you’ve profoundly helped me today”. God Bless You. ❤
Thank you for sharing your struggle! I hope you will find forgiveness and peace for yourself. 🙏🌷
I'm so glad to hear that the video helped you! Have a lovely day! ✨
It's really fascinating how simple the solution is but a lot of us stumble around before getting to that solution -- that our mind has all the answers. Thank you algorithm for sending this video to me. And thank you Jara for the video 💖 wishing you great success this 2024 year!!!
Yes, the simplicity of this solution really is almost funny to me. 😅
Thank you for your kindness! I also thank the algorithm for sending you here!
I wish you all the magic in the upcoming year! ✨
I relate to everything you say. I've been procrastinating on delving head long into my art, and have fear and doubt and self sabotage and all that.
I'm sorry you're dealing with this pain.
I wish you all the success in your recovery from this hurtful patterns. ✨
This was great. Thanks for sharing and teaching. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your encouraging comment!

Thank you for your kindness!
I wish you all the creativity and courage in your art making! ✨
Thank you so much!!! I'm an artist and i've been lately worried a lot about *ART SYLE*. I can't help but feel discouraged when i see someone else's artwork... My mind instantly goes like: that's it. You suck...
I've been drawing so many sketches and whenever i am about to start the shading/coloring process, those thoughts come back again and i end up drawing another sketch instead. I really have been so hard on myself lately. This video spoke to me and i do resonate with everything you said. Thank you again!🦋💜
I'm so happy this video helped you!
Yes, I know ... art journey can be so painful!
I wish you all the self love and compassion! ☀️
I love all your paintings fabulous love your video i changed my life this year having like minds to chat with my pets gives me great company they are always happy souls.

Thanks for sharing your story and encouragement! Have you read The War of Art? It describes that paralyzing force of fear and shame as Resistance, which is often strongest near the finish line. I too am taking a shot and am afraid of success, but your video has inspired me and filled me with peace. I hope you achieve all your goals in life. Blessings 🙏

I am sitting here, at my laptop, at 3:30 in the morning... Wondering, what I have achieved in my 54 years on this planet, and your video could not have come at a more auspicious time! I too, was once an artist that struggled with the victim mentality and ran away from impending success. Every time any of my artwork would reach a modicum of recognition, I would pull away and believe this was only a "fluke." On top of that, I also became very disappointed with the art scene and how exclusive and elitist it can be. This year (2024) I have decided to return to creativity. I miss it... Terribly! It's what kept me sane in a busy, overwhelming world (I am autistic.) I use to create art to "fit in," be appreciated and recognised. Now, I want to create art because I simply love making stuff. Thank you for sharing your story with all of us. It has had a massive impact on me, and I am truly grateful to you. May your art journey be filled with joy and success (however you define it.) Many blessings from Australia.
Thank you for this kind comment and your story.
I'm so happy that you enjoyed this video.
Yes.. I also suffered from the "fluke" syndrome. But no more. Now we take our life into our own hands and create art for ourselves. ✨
I'm excited for your journey ahead and I'm sending you much love from Slovenia! 🌷

A sub--conscious fear of succeeding. Yes, that is what I've been suffering from my whole life.
Yeah.. I feel you.
Yes! The imposter syndrome it’s called . Most successful people suffer from it.. its childhood trauma: you aren’t good enough. Your dad or mum never embraced and praised your talents or strengths. You are very talented and you are amazing, a note from the past.
Yes, imposter syndrome is definitely a part of it. But I also like to think that it is a brain function that simply wants to keep us in the known. If we never had success and we through time get comfortable in our misery, the brain gets used to it and it's hard to move on to the better things. In any case ...
Thank you for your insightful comment! I wish you a lovely and inspiring day! ✨
fear of success, of changing the familiar for something better but much more demanding maybe , as a victimhood might serve us better... Games people play , I suggest you read that :)
Ahh lake bled one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.
Love this videos message❤
Yes! Bled is just beautiful.

Thank you so much for this video. After watching this, something is change deep in my body. I'm art teacher, working in school last 18 years...and I'm so tired of teaching (I love my class, people, pupils, everything....but, I'm tired). From last year I started feeling something like burnout. Also, feel fear of change anything (I've got 2 children, I need some secure income...). However, I need change. For me, never is too late. When we alive, not sick, we can do some change in are life. Never give up. All I really know is: never stop dreaming, and fear is are biggest enemy.
PS: Where are you living? There so beautiful nature around you.❤
Thank you for your insightful comment! 🙏
You seem like a smart and courageous person. Maybe you've outgrown your old career.
We change and evolve all the time. It happens to me a lot that I feel something is an exciting challenge and through time the same thing becomes so tiring.

But you have the power to take it a bit more chill and with compassion towards yourself.
Hang in there. We're all in this together.
I feel like, even if I really don’t like what I created I learned something from the “ mistakes “. Also there is always something I do like in the painting.
