Stop waiting for Friday. For Summer, for someone to fall in love with you, for life. Happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for it and make the most of the moment you are in. @havilahcunnington . I have difficulty with this, but I’m working on it. It’s so easy for me to be future oriented- always looking to the next thing, that I miss what’s in front of me right now. I’m waiting for that breakthrough, that opportunity, for the version of me I think I should have been already and seek to be. I’m waiting for my life to look like the one that I’ve been dreaming of. . It’s not a passive waiting for me. I’m actively taking steps and action (sometimes a bit buckshot) but it’s still the same thing that leads me to miss what is right before me. I miss out on being fully present because I’m thinking about how I can leverage things for what I hope is to come. . But I’m doing my best to form a new habit of gratitude that grounds me in being fully present, right here, right now. . Today I’m choosing to celebrate what is over what could be. . What do you find yourself waiting on? How can you find happiness and contentment in what is, right now? . #art #sketch #quote #quotes #life #happinessquotes #illustrator #illustration #drawing #visualart #dailyart #motivation #inspiration #fullypresent #mikebone #mikebrennanart #artist #quotestoliveby #quoteoftheday
The only way we can remember we are light is to shine our way through the dark. Ali Daniel @punchdrunksoul . There is no if, only when, when it comes to times of darkness. It’s easier to consider being a light in someone else’s darkness, but what about our own? . If we have found a power source bigger than ourselves, and collected the stories of those who have gone on before us, there is something to draw from when we’re the ones stumbling through the darkness. . And while we’re there we are learning lessons we can share, that just might help someone else later on. . Though the days may seem dark, shine on. There is hope. There is light. And when it becomes part of our own journey, we can offer it to others freely, because it’s no ours to own. . #sketch #art #light #hope #mikebone #mikebrennanart #entrepreneur #drawing #visualart #motivationalquotes #quote #dailyart #illustrator #illustration #artist
Replace “I don’t have time” with “it’s not important” and see how that feels. No challenge, no change. @robinnyc . Monday gut check. We all know what’s important gets on our calendars. “Finding time” is a myth. We either make time for something or we don’t. . It feels much better to say “we don’t have time” than to own up to the fact that we just haven’t prioritized for it. Not everything has the same importance in our life and that’s ok. But we can’t think that those areas of life where we’ve been wanting to see change will just automatically change over time. . So, what’s something you might need to make a priority? Maybe it’s a morning routine, that once in place can set the tone for the rest of the day. . I’ve been trying to start my day with gratitude, before the neediness and demands of my day try to capture my attention. . #sketch #robinarzon #art #quote #quotes #motivation #action #priorities #mondaymotivation #dailyart #mikebone #entrepreneur #mikebrennanart #illustrator #illustration #artist #visualart #inspiration #quoteoftheday
Kindness makes people feel less alone. @thekindnessguy . I seek to love people through my art. Showing kindness can be contagious. There’s nothing like being able to impact someone’s world, even if for a brief moment to make them smile. . Who around you needs kindness today? Take time to notice and value them. . #sketch #kindness #art #illustration #illustrator #dailyart #quote #quotes #drawing #mikebone #mikebrennanart #visualart #inspiration #motivation #publicspeaking #entrepreneur #quotesaboutlife
I don’t travel much but I was looking back over some photos from the past few years. I decided to do a bunch of minimalist travel sketches of some places I’ve been. I kinda like the vibe of these. I could see them as postcards. . Where are you traveling to this summer? Any favorite places? . #sketch #travel #travelsketches #drawing #dailyart #illustration #illustrator #mikebone #art #artist #landscapes #mikebrennanart #visualart #vacation #florida #maryland #pennsylvania #cancunmexico
People who ask for things are the ones who get them. @jordanharbinger . When I was younger, I used to think asking for things was a bit prideful (Not asking for help is actually prideful). I think what I really had issue with was the way some people asked (with arrogance or entitlement.) . I’m a big believer in serving and helping others, and believe there’s a way to ask so that it invites others in, and isn’t all about ego & self aggrandizing. And besides,how are people supposed to know what you want if you don’t ask? . So, what do you want? . Here’s my ask: if you like my art, consider supporting by purchasing something. Or if you have a platform (podcast, blog, etc), help me reach (and help) more people. . Consider leaving a comment on what you want, and taking time to read someone else’s. If we all helped each other, we’ll go further, faster. . #sketch #jordanharbinger #art #ask #quote #quotes #illustration #illustrator #mikebone #mikebrennanart #dailyart #drawing #visualart #entrepreneur #inspiration #motivation #quoteoftheday
I won’t back down. @tompettyofficial . You can stand me up at the gates of hell, and I won’t back down. . I’ve always loved this song. I used to sing & play it on guitar back in the day too. It’s traveled with me through different seasons in my life, always the anthem of encouragement and strength. . What won’t you back down from? What songs bring you encouragement to keep going on your journey? . #iwontbackdown #tompetty #sketch #lyric #strength #anthem #illustration #illustrator #art #artist #dailyart #visualart #quote #mikebone #mikebrennanart #entrepreneur #inspiration #motivation #music #song
You are always communicating! Either by default or design. @theginalondon . I consider myself a communicator- sometimes by way of visual art, public speaking, blog posts... but even I fall into default sometimes. . There are times I’m communicating something unintentionally, or worse miscommunicating. And then my message suffers. . At the end of the day, I want to leverage my creativity to produce inspiring creations and help others do the same. . #art #sketch #quote #ginalondon #artist #quotes #sketchquotes #illustrator #illustration #mikebone #mikebrennanart #visualart #communication #publicspeaking #speaker #drawing #dailyart #quoteoftheday

There is a message inside me, that only I can share. And I must. But even though I want to share it with as many people as I can, I cannot control how it is received or by who. . I want to help people. That’s what I do. It’s who I am. But I cannot control the circumstances or results. My part is to show up and share, help and encourage. . Be faithful with what’s before you. The opportunities you do have. The people who are listening. Serve, then serve some more. . #sketch #message #serve #help #speak #passion #work #life #inspiration #motivation #quote #drawing #mikebone #mikebrennanart #entrepreneur #publicspeaking #yourlifeisyourmessage
