Worry is a nasty little bitch.
Worry is a thief in the night that preys upon your worst fears, stealing your dreams and numbing the life in your soul.
Worry is a creativity killer.
Most creative people have to battle against worry over and over again.
Do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will take care of itself. Plan for tomorrow but do not worry.
Do not let worry steal the blue from the sky, the green from the grass, the warmth of a friend or the smile from a stranger.
Talent is overrated, it is the brave and not necessarily the talented who succeed.
You can waste a lot of time wondering “am I good enough?”
It’s the type of question that really isn’t worth asking, instead ask these three questions.
Courage always finds a way.
EGO.
Nothing kills, dampens. squashes and rips the guts out of creativity like this bad boy.
The artist who reaches us with his or her work has usually walked through a fire or two before their work finds its place in our hearts.
WHY?
Because heartbreak, pain, failure, death, divorce, bankruptcy and betrayal shatter ones perception that we can control everything that happens to us on planet earth.
These types of experiences (although terrible) keep our hearts open, raw and vulnerable.
THE ILLUSION OF EGO has been shattered, judgement cannot exist and control is no longer possible and finally we can express who we really are.
“The truth shall set you free BUT first it will really anger you.”
Freedom to do what?
The truth distills us; the truth is an honest reflection of our souls. It is not air-brushed or enhanced, the truth is what the truth is.
When we hear it we fall silent because we are without argument.
What is the truth?
The truth is found on the edge of God’s fingertip, it’s found in the breath of the cool wind which whispers to us our desperate need for the breath on the edge of the fingertip.
No one likes to watch a boring movie, where everything is straightforward, safe and compartmentalized. A movie without spontaneity, without drama, without risk, without accidents, without life.
Do you want to create a great piece of art?
Is it possible to authentically create that art without risk, drama and adventure in your own life?
Your life should be a movie.
Yes you will have enemies, trusted friends who lose faith, people who kick you when you’re down, but still we keep on going.
As you live so you will create.
Everyone has a dream.
Everyone.
Including you.
You are not too slow, too old, too poor or too dumb to dream.
Dreams change, they evolve, they grow and they mature.
Sometimes we hang on so tight to an old ideal, ND our hands remain closed to a new dream.
STOP the unbelief, it’s actually critical that you begin to dream again… your life depends upon it.
