“Don’t kill the part of you that is cringe, kill the part of you that cringes” is a quote I heard that spoke volumes to me in many areas of life. Be yourself, unapologetically

....the classic irony........

[@NatNat-uu9cs]

I have quit my night shift job three years ago to go after my dream. Along the way, I've had MANY instances of incredible luck and the worst luck, which has really perplexed me. When i experience the setbacks, i get very upset because it seems like, how is this possible? I don't know how I'll recover from this. Then, yesterday, i understood. What i see as bad or good luck isn't luck at all, it's the plan. It's just right. I see it as luck because there's no logical reason behind the happenings (honestly strange things happen), but i can't see the logic since i can't see the future. What keeps me going us the deep down understanding that this is what I'm supposed to be doing. Sometimes you just know. And in order to reach my destination, i just have to keep moving forward, and trust the devine plan. We got this. 💙

[@KLOUTMISFIT]

Can you give me an instance of luck happening for you?

[@vapenashe4480]

I quit my job two weeks ago, very excited to take control of my life

[@bulbasewer]

Make the masterpiece. Chip away at it from true places. Release the process that doesn’t make the end product but never sacrifice your vision. Nothing is too big that you can’t eventually grow into. Follow your spirit always and shoot as high as you can…

[@Lina-cy2yc]

Beautiful comment. I'm trying to make my super big project now, and the moment I think of it only from my head level it seems soooo impossible, and far away. I'll write your words and come back to them whenever I need some encouragement:)

[@ed.m04]

My ultimate artistic goal for the past year has been to create my own short comic series. Since April of last year, I've drawn a single page and have yet to finalize the design of the main character. I spent most of those 15 months reading other artists books and stressing out over how my own will never reach the scale or mastery of theirs, especially since this is my first try at something like this. I've been working to keep my own aspirations in perspective because obviously my comics will never resemble the ones I read. I have confidence that one day I will eventually have something to show for my ideas, but to do that it will need to be unique to my own art style and ways of storytelling.

[@xmaniaccc1]

Oh man, are you me? As this is happening to me verbatim.

[@sheabreauxwells7059]

One thing I recently grokked is that the present moment IS the doorway...AS IT IS. You are perfect, as is your work, RIGHT NOW. The only thing that makes it imperfect is the comparison. So if you put blinders on, just activate your Tunnel Vision, consume less, and create, you will find that you had it all along. The perfect moment is now. The action is now. Create.

DUDE I AM LITERALLY IN THE SAME BOAT RN, DONT EVER GIVE UP, WE GOT THISSS💖

[@MeettheWHo]

Bro Mac Made sure theres space for everybody as he prepared for lift off .I believe he was a genuine dude .and everyone still speaks great of him till this day .A real one .Rip Mac ♥🕊

[@creativemindsyoutube]

I came to Mac's music just before he passed. When I was watching the interview I used for this video I thought about where his music would be these days if he was still around. I loved the direction he went in with Swimming, and yeah, would've liked to see where he went. RIP Mac.

[@Inthemaking321]

Mac is my muse. He's my inspiration. I listen to his (mostly unreleased) music every single day. You wouldn't believe how huge his catalog actually is if you can get your hands on the basement tape stuff. He was telling us all to just go for it! You gotta jump in to swim ❤ Rest in power legend

[@austincaruso7596]

Dude, the fact you put this much care and thought into a project. No doubt its going to be good. Cant wait to hear it!

[@creativemindsyoutube]

Thanks for the support - it matters and yeah, just so glad this is connecting with people who feel the same kind of issues I'm discussing here.

[@livingbreathingperson]

I have suffered from this for yearsssss. It usually goes from insecurity to perfectionism to apathy. Thankfully I have reached the point of apathy and just put things out not expecting anything.

[@Thekenyattamusic]

Today I planned so much there was nothing to plan, hit publish on blog posts, link the page to domain, yet still I search KZbin and procrastinate. I’m going to start… thank you 🙏🏾 glad to be here ❤

[@J-163]

Some really great techniques and talking points here! I’d like to suggest a technique that has helped me in the past 2-3 years. Whenever I’ve felt insecure or nervous about starting a project, continuing a project or releasing the finished works, I’ve started asking myself the question “How much will this hurt if I don’t do it?”, which really puts things into perspective for me, put me back on track and takes me to new places creatively. As Ive gotten older, my only requirements have become: 1. Have fun 2. Learn something new Good luck with the project and I look forward hearing your music once it’s released ✌️

[@creativemindsyoutube]

This hits for me. I like that idea of 'how much will this hurt...' Sometimes I wonder why I even want to bring this together for my project, and it's not really clear, only that I've wanted to do it for a long time, and not getting it done is 'hurting' me a bit, and just scratching a bit. So I hear this. I love those simple requirements too. Have fun -❤️

[@ishigirihayato]

I really enjoyed this video, hearing the artists' idealogies about creating, how you tried applying it to your process, and your results and difficulties is really interesting and valuable as a creative. Would love to see more like this in the future!

[@maxynemae]

i’m not even half way through and this is SO inspiring and encouraging. thank you so much for making this 💙

[@creativemindsyoutube]

Glad you are feeling it. Hope it can help you in your own journey. And yeah, thanks for taking the time to drop into the comments and show the love.

So great to hear. Glad this one resonated with you.

[@cameronharper2082]

At 24.08 - that’s a really fresh opinion for me on that style of drafting/working on a song. However I think it’s a good idea to also keep an open mind to forcing yourself to be comfortable, get used to your mumbly, wordless, formless voice within the process of creating melodies and lyrics. Yes it feels so cringe and uncomfortable and embarrassing but personally it feels like taking a hard way of putting your ego behind you and sitting with that raw discomfort and working through it and making something beautiful out of it. It made me think of the draft take of Headlong that Queen released on the deluxe version of Headlong (it’s titled: Headlong - Embryo with Guide Vocals) its raw, Brian May mumbling unwritten lyrics over the instrumental track. And it’s amazing to see how that turned into the final version that Queen fans know today. While I will now think about your statement upon ego and this method of tracking vocals when I create my own work, I thought I might just also give you how I view this method as well! :) Nothing is wrong, everyone has their own methods and everyone’s brain works in different ways. And it was actually really thought provoking and fresh to hear all of this from you. I love this style of video. Keep going man, you have all our support🙏

[@aatroise]

[@offbeatninja]

It's always dope to see these videos pop up on my suggestions. Hella inspired.

[@creativemindsyoutube]

Really happy I can make things that inspire you offbeatninja - that shiz matters to me so thanks for saying it.

[@enriccoc7794]

i think those three requirements you set for yourself are all good things, but they are very steep! If you can make music that makes you feel something that alone is a major accomplishment in itself

[@creativemindsyoutube]

That's actually rings true what you say. Interesting that it didn't go through my head that I could actually pull back on the expectations even more here.

[@AmbitiousDesire101]

I’m creating a business and the only thing I’ve been stressing about is putting my trademark. It’s been so annoying when doing it alone

[@creativemindsyoutube]

Doing stuff alone takes a lot of push. I hope the video series on this one can help a little bit with a few ideas.

not tryin to be a stickler or anything lol but just a side note: Cormac McCarthy's novel is "The Road" whereas "On the Road" was written by Jack Kerouac. Jack is my favorite writer so I couldn't help but notice that right away ha. Other than that small slip fantastic video as always brother always stoked to see a new one posted.

100%, i thought about this before, that it'd be so cool if he started interviewing artists (music artists ofc but also creatives in general) and expanded his format that way

[@creativemindsyoutube]

Yeah, I think I hopefully see that as part of the future of this channel. Once I've stabilised all this and made it somewhat sustainable financially I'd like to create an audio version which would maybe revolve around direct artist interviews. Loading basically...

there is no such thing as good or bad music its subjective

[@creativemindsyoutube]

Glad that hit with you. I thought some people would feel that 'cause I have a few friends who make music and have discussed this with them too.

[@memery_music]

At 17:38, if you focus on listening to your unfinished music, it can help you develop the ability to let the music tell you what it needs. Trust me, on the one hand, it can make you procrastinate, but on the other hand, it can help you improve the song itself. It's a useful technique. Trust me, bro. ✊🏿 Good luck on your journey. 🙏🏿
