Hey everyone. For my firs blog post I'll be posting a journal entry I wrote the other day after painting my first abstract painting in years. It's a little something to get this blog going and I hope you'll appreciate the few words I rambled on about. Here it is (along with the painting).
Our lives mirror our thoughts. This is one of the secrets of the universe and how it plays a role in the events that occur throughout our lives. We search for perfect balance, but knowing that it is almost impossible to achieve, we lose ourselves in whichever direction we walk in. There will always be imbalances, but according to how you reflect upon yourself, life, love, family, those imbalances will remain minor or take over your life.
Nowadays we skim through texts and videos, not appreciating the simple things that we once found beautiful. Whether it's poetry, photography, film, or nature, we live in such a fast pace that we don't stop and take in what once could turn our day around from an ok-day to a day with meaning.
During the past few autumn evenings I've stopped and watched the sun set. Not necessarily the sun, but the sky itself. The colours that play along the clouds the farther the sun sets, the way the blue deepens to an almost-purple. It made me think about change. Change is never in the style of cold-turkey. You can never just stop doing something or being someone. You'll end up on another end of the spectrum totally unbalanced. But if you choose to change bits and pieces of yourself, gradually, just like the way the colours slowly fade from pinks, reds, purples, and blues, you can find that who you thought you could become is entirely possible.
Give and take. Nothing is out of your reach as long as you believe you deserve it. What you think about yourself is what you think you're worth. Whether it's time, money, relationships, it all comes down to balance. Strive to be the person you want to be, but don't stress. Be there for those who need you, but not to the point where you neglect yourself. Love those who deserve your love, and open your heart to receive their love.
Once you believe you deserve something, write it down. Almost like you were ordering a book on Amazon. Writing something down and set a deadline, an EXACT time that you expect what you want, and it's practically yours.
You never know how easily you can get it. Just think.
