Finding Your Unique Voice | Elizabeth Gilbert, Morgan Harper Nichols & Lisa Congdon
“Do you have the courage? Do you have the courage to bring forth this work? The treasures that are hidden inside you are hoping you will say yes.”
Elizabeth Gilbert • Big Magic: How to Live a Creative Life, and Let Go of Your Fear
The only unique contribution that we will ever make in this world will be born of our creativity. If we want to make meaning, we need to make art. Cook, write, draw, doodle, paint, scrapbook, take pictures, collage, knit, rebuild an engine, sculpt, dance, decorate, act, sing—it doesn’t matter. As long as we’re creating, we’re cultivating meaning.
Brene Brown • The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Suppose to Be and Embrace Who You Are: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are
Instead of sounding like others, value your own voice. Develop it. Cherish it.
Rick Rubin • The Creative Act: A Way of Being
Do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you?

Most of us only find our own voices after we've sounded like a lot of other people. But the one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can.
