5 Ways You Can Choose to Thrive, Today...

1/7/2017

Over the years, I've met so many artists who struggle in their lives with everything from creative expression to finances, relationships to addiction, spirituality and their relationship with God.  Most of the time, the overwhelmingly popular view of life among these friends tends to lean towards one of two areas; mailbox mentality or starving artist.

On the Christian side of life, many believers  embrace a popular fallacy that says something like "get saved, obey God and He'll do the rest because God's in control."  Everyday, these artists go out to their proverbial mailbox hoping that today is the day God blesses them with the desires of their heart, only to be disappointed.  

The other view of life among almost all artists is one I call the starving artist mentality.  This one is pretty familiar to most creatives in that it presupposes that life as an artist is hard, you'll never make money, to sell your art successfully is to "sell out" and you just have to settle for an existence laden with poverty or at least the lack of prosperity.

Thank goodness, I found a better way based in God's Word that is based on how the Kingdom of God works.  Here's the 5 ways you can choose to thrive as an artist in God's Kingdom:
  1. Have a vision for your life that resonates with how God designed you. Without clarity on where you're going and how you're designed, your life will be all over the place.
  2. Change your thinking. Whatever you think about constantly - like a movie playing inside your head - is what will manifest in your life.  
  3. Real change comes to your life when you change the way you think. Remember, "be transformed by the renewing of your mind"!
  4. Be fruitful first with whatever God has entrusted you with and then multiplication and growth will come as the natural result. You don't have to force it.
  5. Understand you were created for a story bigger than your own.  When you connect with God and His design for you, you'll be amazed how and where he'll position you to release the power of His Kingdom.
Do you want to start thriving as an artist in the Kingdom of God? Want to connect with other's on the journey, too?  Check out my online mentoring program.
