You Are Not Alone in Your Misery

In the world of creative work, dissatisfaction with your result is not a sign of failure, but a common experience among artists and designers. Even Van Gogh, Picasso, and Da Vinci struggled with self-doubt.

Vincent Van Gogh once said: “I am seeking. I am striving. I am in it with all my heart.” Capturing the endless pursuit of creative perfection. Picasso highlighted the transformative nature of creation when he said: “Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction.

The discomfort and dissatisfaction that come with creative work are universal, transcending all levels of skill. Leonardo da Vinci as mentioned in the comic and even Michelangelo faced moments of doubt. Da Vinci’s discarded sketches were key to his artistic development.

Dissatisfaction is Part of The Process

So if you question the results of your creative work, accept it as part of the process. Dissatisfaction is not an obstacle, but a stepping stone to improvement. Learn and grow from it. Trust that each stroke will bring you closer to what you want to become. Your unfinished canvas is not a failure, but a canvas awaiting the next chapter of your creative journey.
