“Once you experience the freedom of being yourself, you can never go back!”

Being an artist today should be easier — we have so many advances in technology, AI, and tools. But, the most important evolution we still need is mindset: we need to be more flexible and open our minds to new possibilities.

More and more people are embracing multiple passions and skills. I am one of them. But with all honesty, it’s not easy. The world constantly tries to put us in a box — a single place where we must specialize in only one thing.

For years, I believed that having multiple passions and skills meant I lacked focus. Society made me think there was something wrong with me. But the truth is, having diverse passions is a superpower that sets us apart from the crowd. Instead of trying to fit into a small box, why not accept ourselves, expand, and evolve? To truly be who we want to be.

When I was a child, I thought only those who had money, power, a good job, or fame could be happy and fulfilled. But material things don’t bring true happiness. What’s the point of having everything if you live a prisoner to the judgments and opinions of others?

Today, I accept my many passions and skills, and that has changed my life. It’s opened new doors. Living authentically, standing up for your dreams and interests. It’s scary and comes at a price: discovering who you really are.

Once you experience the freedom of being yourself, you can never go back!

You can only set limits and live well when you truly know yourself, what you want, and what makes you happy. It doesn’t matter if it seems silly to others; it just has to be important to you.

True wealth is freedom — the freedom to be who you are, with such conviction that even if the whole world is against you, you will remain firm and at peace.

This is freedom’s price — one that cannot be measured, only lived.
