Undoubtedly, I believe in myself.
Probably I already wrote a similar post. Still, I think if something is significant to me, I want to repeat it. The truth is that I can influence myself the most. Thus, I am convinced that I can create many beautiful works throughout my life. Knowing all these things, I know that the one I can trust and believe the most is me, myself, and I. Does that mean that I do not trust and believe in my beloved Kamilka, for example? Of course, I believe in her.
Moreover, I love her and trust her. Still, I know that I can influence only myself 100%. That’s why I focus on my doings. I can give only advice or help to others if only they would ask me to do it and if I would be able to help them.
Believing in oneself is the key to success in many fields, not only those connected with art.
The truth is that I want to be the most prolific artist/photographer in the world. I have no doubt that I will do it. When I analyze Taschen / Phaidon / Thames and Hudson’s books about the most famous artists, I always see how prolific and creatively productive had to be all these geniuses.
Moreover, all of them believed in themselves. Without this inner, personal faith, they would not reach the sky they managed to achieve. How lucky I am that I discovered in myself the desire and ability to create new things. Whether these are new photographs, texts, sets of pictures (e.g., “Negation of the End” or “Ostensible Abstraction”), or new editions of “Diaries,” I know that by doing all these creative things, I make a step forward towards immortality. That’s why I believe in myself. I know that I can do tremendous things with my beloved Kamilka right beside me.
