Success is often three feet away from where we decide to quit. - unknown . The road may be long and hard, but we never know what might be just a little further. And we never will if we give up. . It’s so easy to doubt. Were we wrong? Are we really capable of what we’ve set out to do? Will things really change? What if we keep going and things just seem worse? . But what if just three feet from where we are is break through? What if the people who need what we have to offer find us just a little further? What if our life is about to completely change? . You’ve come this far. Keep going. It doesn’t matter how fast or slow. Just keep moving forward. One step at a time. One foot in front of the other. .

Take what you learn & make a difference with it. @tonyrobbins . I’m in this season of life where I want to leverage my story, journey and experiences to help others as much as possible. Even the difficult stuff. It’s in sharing and connecting through these experiences that redemption and blessing comes. . If you have a podcast, or platform that serves others through sharing people’s stories, I’d love to connect. . #tonyrobbins #art #artist #sketch #quote #quotes #publicspeaking #speaking #illustration #podcast #podcasting #story #journey #communication #entrepreneur #artwork #mikebone #mikebrennanart #visualart #message
Perhaps this is what entrepreneurship has taught me most: it has taught me how to fight for myself. @tmfproject . When I was younger people would often ask me if I ever thought about going into business for myself. I immediately answered no. That though was so uncomfortable for me. I wanted safe. Controlled. Predictable. Or so I thought. . The truth is I lacked the confidence in myself and my abilities and it was easier to just show up and be told what to do. But as I aged, and had several experiences ( like my “safe” jobs weren’t really safe ) I learned the value of my work and through showing up everyday (and fighting my way) I gained confidence. So I resonate with this quote. Because I would not have learned the things I have apart from this journey. ...and I feel like I’m only getting started. What has entrepreneurship taught you? . #quote #quotes #event #conference #sketch #sketching #eventsketch #art #mikebone #eventsketching #drawing #illustration #mikebone #mikebrennanart #artist #illustration #illustration #livesketch #podcast #publicspeaking #communication #entrepreneur
Love connecting with people through my art. ❤️⭐️ . Repost from @superdave310 - This is so FANTASTIC! My friend Mike Brennan @mikebone is an amazing artist, and not only because he can draw... it’s because he draws real life, in the moment, and each of his pieces tell a story—a story that is told as he makes each stroke. And it’s a story that seems simple at first glance, but is incredibly hard to actually do. Thanks for working with me to do this, Mike... I’m thrilled I have it. . #art #artist #illustration #drawing #sketch #mikebone #mikebrennanart #illustrator
I’m excited to live in a world where “success” is when you have happiness and peace of mind not money and trophies. @garyvee . Success looks different for everyone but how are you guarding against climbing a ladder that’s against the wrong building? . #art #garyvee #garyvanerchuk #artist #illustration #success #illustrator #entrepreneur #business #podcast #video #quote #quotes #mikebone #mikebrennanart #quoteoftheday #artwork #speaker #communication #visualart #sketch
No one thinks athletes are at their best when they’re at their worst physically. So why would we think artists are at their best when they’re at their worst mentally? @andyjpizza . I’ve been tuning into Andy’s podcast “Creative Pep Talk” for a few months now. I feel a kindred spirit with many things he talks about. If you’re a creative person, check it out. . #art #artist #quote #illustrator #illustration #sketch #speaker #quotes #mikebone #drawing #quoteoftheday #mentalhealth #work #artwork #artoftheday #dailyart #visualart

(You might even make it into a sketch 🤷‍♂️) @visitoceangrovenj @oceangrovebeach . #event #eventsketch #livesketching #church #beach #baptism #drawing #art #illustration #mikebone #mikebrennanart #newjersey #nj #jerseyshore #sketch
Loved sharing my story to help others. Humbled and excited for more opportunities. . Repost from @thethinglive - What a weekend!!! - In our closing session @mikebone said one of the most important things of the entire weekend. - “If you’re not sacrificing for your thing, you’re sacrificing your thing.” . #speaker #communication #publicspeaking #conference #event #workhard #quotes #creative #mikebrennanart #mikebone #artist #sacrifice #dream #passion
The opposite of depression is not happiness. The opposite of depression is purpose. ~ Cathy Heller . The worst part of my time spent in depression was feeling the lack of hope, and feeling trapped. Things I though should have brought me purpose, didn’t. . It’s easy to play a role that others have assigned you, or that you’ve allowed them to. I spent the first half of my life showing up asking “what am I supposed to do? Just tell me what to do”. Even in my creative acts, I lacked real purpose. I wasn’t taking ownership over my own creativity. . What I’ve found is the best purpose is in redeeming your own story for the benefit of others. Leveraging your creativity to help others. It’s not about being clever. It’s about investing in others. . @cathy.heller . #art #artist #depression #purpose #creativity #sketch #illustration #quote #quotes #drawing #mikebone #mikebrennanart #visualart #creative
