No one said it was going to be easy.
But who gains any sense of growth without a challenge?
You know, forging your own path is a journey that is best left covered up. You know, if you aren't into personal enlightenment and expanded consciousness.
I say this because most people don't want to get into the nitty gritty of doing what they love. They don't want to fight their way through the dark spots of their lives to reach a higher potential. It takes work. Dedicated, hard work.
Therefore only the bravest may head down this road that some of us call real life.
Sometimes I start to think that I could give up, just get a desk job, make a basic competitive salary and live life. Sure, I might be happy enough. Sure, I might be content. But what about the soul's journey on this planet to help evolution?
My journey really started about two years ago this time. Frankly, it has been hard, but in so many other ways it has been one blessing after another. Grounding myself- accepting the eccentric person that I am- helped to unfold a person ready to pursue my own values and beliefs. In doing this I have had moments of fearing the unknown, debating with family who doesn't understand, and having some days of deep sadness. But... through it all I have also found a great support system of like-minded people, have found my own art, and am open to what the future continues to bring.
I encourage each and every one of you to start forging a path that is your own. There may not be a guide to help get you there, and in fact their may be no direction given by any one, but stay strong, persevere, and remember that you can make a difference. Be the artist of your life!
