Obstacles cannot crush me; every obstacle yields to stern resolve. ♦ Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci, a polymath of the Renaissance era, was more than just an extraordinary artist. He was an inventor, scientist, mathematician, and writer. His endless curiosity about the world around him led him to explore and conquer various fields of study, making him an epitome of determination and resilience. He had notebooks filled with innumerable sketches and observations of the various challenges he faced Ð be it his flying machines that never took off or anatomical studies that went against the normative beliefs of his time.

Obstacles are an intrinsic part of the creative process. Whether it's the challenge of mastering a new technique, expressing a particularly intricate emotion, or even battling the infamous Ôartist's block', we've all faced moments of doubt and frustration. Yet, as he implies, it's not the challenges themselves but our reaction to them that makes the difference. By harnessing our inner resolve and determination, we can turn these barriers into stepping stones, opportunities for growth and learning. Indeed, it's often in the face of adversity that our most profound work emerges.

Leonardo provides us with countless examples of how he confronted his challenges with an indomitable spirit. As creators, we too face our own challenges. He urges us to not only face them, but to embrace them, like a symphony of experiences, helping us evolve and grow stronger, one obstacle at a time.
