My Creative Goals for 2023


Last year, I created a list of Creative Goals for 2022. Because I only accomplished a few of these goals. I am rolling them over into 2023. Thus, here are my Creative Goals for 2023.

"I can't paint the way they want me; they'd know that too. Of course, you will say that I ought to be practical and try and paint the way they want me to. Well, I will tell you a secret. I have tried, and I have tried very hard, but I can't do it. I just can't do it! And that is why I am just a little crazy. " — Rembrandt Van Rijn.


Art Is My Life — I carried a motto throughout middle school and adulthood. If you follow my blog, you know that my 2022 Personal Development Journey focuses on finding my Ikigai. Ikigai is a Japanese philosophy that translates to "reason for being". In the coming year, I plan to make 2022 the year I search and hopefully find my Ikigai.


"Ikigai gives your life a purpose while giving you the grit to carry on." — Ken Mogi (2018, p. 13)



I have an assumed Ikigwhichthat is my art. I aim to own a fortune 500 animation studio, theme park, spa, and resort. As I enter this journey to finding my Ikigai, I hope that my art and writing are a part of it. This is why I dedicate more time to my creative goals. I plan to venture into the depths of my imaginative capabilities and see what I can create.
