Recently I have been reflecting on the idea of falling in love with our life. It is said to live a good life and fulfill our goals one has to love their life. It struck me as very apt as it is middle of the year and we decide on the plans for rest of the year and reflect on whether we managed to achieve the goals we set at the start of the year.
Sometimes we search for clarity of purpose and direction and feel maybe changing location place or situation is best without thinking it could just be the way we look at it - our perspective.
Maybe it is about tuning in, 'being present'. Sometimes we float through the day finishing our duties, day job or responsibilities without really being present in the moment. If we tried to be aware of how we feel little more how much more would we achieve? Without thinking of future or the past or whats going on in our head how much more would we do? Its easier said than done but most things just need another perspective.
If I related taking a different perspective on my art I come to the conclusion that I strive to gradually apply these principles in my creative process. I take criticism in my stride and try to avoid letting it define me. I try to never feel the work I do is a waste although some times some pieces do tend to need a lot more of me. I always value every part of the process including the intuitive experiences which mold the path,create twists and turns and surprises in a painting. And as I continue to grow in my creative endeavors, I allow the paintings to follow the road they are meant to have. As an artist this gives me freedom, liberation and sense of purpose.
Let's try it! & take a different perspective!
