← If I'm losing balance in a pose, I stretch higher and God reaches down to steady me. It works every time, and not just in yoga. ~ T.

    Suffering from jealousy? Publicly celebrate that persons wins. Retrain yourself to be a cheerleader. Wouldn’t you want the same?

Sometimes people say jerky things. . It could even be people we look up to. And it’s not that they ARE jerks, but they just said something that wounded. . What they said might be more about them then you. And to be honest, sometimes we’re the ones who say jerky things. We forget our words have weight and impact. . I recently had someone I look up to say something indirectly about something we discussed. Maybe it was in the name of looking for that snarky comment that makes them look good in the eyes of others. Who knows. . What I do know is that it stung. In that moment I had a choice. Would I carry this persons words around with me, or would I choose to let it roll off? . I know that’s much easier said than done. But cling to truth. And expose the lies. . Our words matter. We can use them for building up or tearing down. There’s actually a proverb that says “Words kill, words give life. They’re either poison or fruit - YOU CHOOSE.” . Let’s look for opportunities to give life through our words. The fruit we see just might amaze us. . #words #encouragement #discouragement #speak #speaklife #illustration #art #illustrator #drawing #mikebone #mikebrennanart #dailyart #visualart #jerk
Those who have a “why” to live, can bear with almost any “how”. Viktor Frankl . If you haven’t done the work of uncovering your WHY, spend the time needed. A clear WHY guides you into what you do & don’t do, and clarifies your purpose and mission. . HOW becomes much easier when we know WHY. . My WHY is connecting to people, bringing joy and a sense of belonging. . What’s your WHY? . #why #purpose #quote #sketch #drawing #illustration #illustrator #art #artist #quoteoftheday #inspiration #motivation #mikebone #mikebrennanart #dailyart #visualart #viktorfrankl
Stop being a passenger in life. . It’s ok to put your feet up on the dash for a road trip, or even to rest for a moment. But it’s not a way to live. . Take responsibility. Move forward. Be an active participant. No one is coming to find you or what you have to offer. You have to bring it to them. . So, where are you headed? And what are you bringing? . #sketch #art #journey #path #road #roadtrip #passion #dream #inspiration #motivation #work #feet #artist #illustration #illustrator #mikebone #mikebrennanart #dailyart #visualart #getmoving
Quick digital sketch from the corner of 27th & 5th Ave. Empire State Building. . #urbansketch #empirestatebuilding #nyc #newyork #digitalsketch #drawing #art #artist #illustrator #illustration #mikebone #mikebrennanart #dailyart #visualart #nycstreets
A couple of drawings in my sketchbook from my time in #washingtonsquarepark - I did a few in Madison square park too. Need to finish those up. Met a few people today as I was sketching too. I love when art opens doors for conversation, even quick ones. . Took notice of the inscription over the arch today: “let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair. The event is in the hand of God. - Washington” . #art #sketch #sketchbook #nyc #nycparks #washingtonsquarearch #newyork #artist #watercolor #penandink #mikebone #mikebrennanart #dailyart
I have a confession. Something I have to keep learning over and over. . As a creative, I have this desire to hold my cards close to my chest. To clutch my art so tightly until I feel like it’s time to make the “big reveal”. There’s a chance of suffocating the art before it even has a chance. . I keep learning that the better way is to hold loosely and invite others into the process. It feels... icky sometimes. Like asking someone to taste something not fully baked. . But others might have a missing ingredient that can be a game changer. . Where do you need to invite someone into your ideas or process to help you make it the best it can be? . #art #creative #creator #artist #illustration #illustrator #creativity #creativeprocess #collaboration #launch #drawing #mikebone #mikebrennanart #dailyart #visualart #podcast #author #publicspeaking #cartoon
You are free. Start living like it. . When you’re stuck, especially for an extended period of time, it can be hard to shake that feeling. It becomes all you see and feel. It becomes your identity. . But you are free. The door is open. It just might not be where you’re expecting it to be. . You can fly any time you want to. Step one: uncage your mind. Step two: flap your wings. . It’s time. . #illustration #fly #bird #birdcage #passion #dream #pursuit #learningtofly #life #motivation #inspiration #drawing #mikebone #mikebrennanart #illustrator #free #freedom #art #artist #dailyart
