hello everyone I am Falkland fedora and
I’m an artist
well actually at the beginning I wasn’t
sure what I wanted my career to be I
considered a whole bunch of careers like
architecture teaching radio presenting
and in the end I chose art it’s okay not
to have it all figured out as soon as
you finish school so I’m going to talk
about how to progress to success let’s
talk about motivation what even is
motivation you need to ask yourself what
your drive is and how you’re going to
get to that goal or outcome and my
experience my drive is making art and
creativity accessible to everyone so I
had to think about how I would go about
doing that I wanted to teach workshops
participate in exhibitions collaborate
with institutions and let those be my
building blocks when it comes before
motivation activating yourself what if
it’s not enough to have Drive and goals
this is where production comes into play
you need to set yourself a routine to
practice every day and you’ll find
yourself producing something you should
activate yourself before you can decide
whether you’re motivated enough or not
now routine might have a negative
connotation but routine can just mean
that you just want to achieve one thing
every day that would mean that every day
you’re striving towards that one goal or
outcome you can be an artist athlete
mathematician scientist musician and
you’d still have to wake up every
morning and and activate yourself to
practice your passion so I’m going to
share a little story about when I was in
university a couple years ago I was
studying in Boston I was taking a
college photography class in this class
we had to pick a project for the
semester now I decided I want my project
to be about photographing strangers in
music
in theory this sounded really simple but
in practice the idea terrified me I had
a whole bunch of roadblocks ahead of me
like anxiousness nervousness and then
there was the worst-case scenario
the person I approached said no I don’t
want you to take my picture so in order
to start I had to speak to just one
person when I finally got up the courage
to approach that person I asked him to
take my picture
they agreed they I took their photo they
signed a little form for me and then
came this relief and I realized what I
had been so scared of it was that I
could have failed so imagine we’re
looking at it as an equation it would
look a little some a little bit
something like motivation plus
production equals success or failure now
the truth is there is no failure
there’s trying once twice three times
and until you get better and better
failure is just a stepping stone for you
if you get it wrong once it means that
the next time you’ll take that
experience and get it right that
practice is success don’t want how to
progress to success intimidate you
routine is really good and practice only
makes you better your drive and goals
are stepping stones to getting started
on productivity is the result of that
activate yourself to do daily activities
instead of waiting for motivation to
kick in and then the equation is
motivation plus production equals
success only success thank you
