We do not exist for ourselves alone, and it is only when we are fully convinced of this fact that we begin to love ourselves properly and thus also love others.

Creatives Creating Creations Of Chaos

Creative people are a different sort of people. They have a spirit about them that is meant to change the world. With their work comes a responsibility to inspire others and make things better for everyone. Talented people are everywhere and it’s awesome to see them doing what they do. Unfortunately, many creatives have been censored and lost their lives for living their truth and answering the call of life. Some works have been deemed too radical, too scandalous, too revolutionary.
Art like beauty is in the eye of the beholder or in this case creator. The ability to change hearts and minds through art, music, literature, dance is truly powerful. I hope my blogging can do that in some small measure. The greatest thing we can do is to love one another and to inspire others to do the same through our gifts and talents. Everyone has a gift they can share.
Originals are nonconformists, people who not only have new ideas but take action to champion them. They are people who stand out and speak up. Originals drive creativity and change in the world. They’re the people you want to bet on.
Adam Grant
Being original is important. Anything new is worth exploring and if it doesn’t work out then try again. Any inventor will share their experience with you. Creativity is indeed a process and you want to get behind those who are doing it.
All-in-all let your light shine through whatever medium you have chosen to express yourself. Be brave and have fun shaking things up along the way. Don’t worry about causing chaos all the good people do it. Besides some everyone needs little shaking up.
Quote Of The Day
Love casts out fear, and gratitude can conquer pride.
From “Little Women” by Louisa May Alcott
Hearts Be Free
There is beauty in the world. Natural and artificial. Our bodies and souls are linked in this life. We should be free to be to feel and encounter all the things that bring us passion, love and Eros. Love is love and everyone should be able to experience that without shame or ridicule. Young and old hearts be free.
Three Doors Up
Three doors up there’s opportunity for all.
Three doors up you are part of making a difference.
Three doors up your gender/sexually isn’t an issue.
Three doors up you aren’t discriminated against.
Three doors up your life’s calling is affirmed.
Three doors up the table is never too small.
Three doors up there is not a fence or a wall.
Three doors up you find comfort, peace, love and grace.
Quote Of The Day
The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
Thomas Merton
