When I think about boldness, it’s more than just being daring or taking risks—it’s about fully committing to your ideas, your vision, and yourself without hesitation. Boldness is about giving yourself permission to go against the grain, even when society, friends, or even your own fears try to pull you back.

In life and in art, I’ve learned that the only way to grow is to push beyond what’s comfortable. You can’t just follow trends or play it safe if you want to make a real impact. You have to be willing to embrace the uncertainty and chaos that comes with pursuing something different.

Being bold is shooting in the streets when people stare at you, or creating work that nobody else gets. It’s being okay with making others uncomfortable, because true creativity doesn’t live inside the safety of the status quo.

But here’s the thing about boldness: it’s not something you wait for. You don’t wait to “feel” bold. It’s a muscle you have to flex. The more you practice being bold—whether in your art, your business, or your life—the stronger and more fearless you become.

Don’t wait for the world to give you permission to be bold. Give yourself that permission. Burn the bridges behind you, take that leap, and don’t look back.
