Reveal what you know is real.
There are times when we tend to mask things about ourselves. We don’t want things to show. We have no confidence. We tend to sugar coat things so we don’t have to taste the truth. The truth that we are not doing what we really love to do.
In our hearts we know what is real. It is up to us to believe in it or not. We need to learn to reveal it.
We know we are passionate about something, but we think we aren’t capable of doing it the way we imagine it to be. We think that we don’t have the time, we don’t have the energy or we don’t have the resources to make it happen. We know the feeling to want to do it is real though. We ache to have a healthy obsession. We want to make things, we want to solve things and we want to share experiences.
Most of our imaginations are rooted in things we know exist, so why is it so hard to realistically imagine ourselves doing what we love to do?
I am not telling you to quite your job to become an artist. I am not telling you to spend thousands of dollars on equipment you need to make things happen. I am telling you that practical plans can create outstanding results.
It’s not the camera that makes the photographer.
It’s not the brush that makes the painter.
It’s not the guitar that writes the songs.
It’s you. You make things happen.
I see so many people buy a guitar, a camera, or a puzzle, but never make “it” happen. “It” doesn’t mean getting famous. “It” means being happy doing the things you really love to do.
Puzzles are like an art from. Every piece fits. Every note has it’s place. Every pixel creates a color. We don’t just need tools, we need motivation. We need persistence. We need goals. We need to work for something bigger than ourselves. It’s not about doing it as a full time job. Everyone hates something about there job. No job is perfect, but they can support what we really love to do.
Just like we are all imperfect, so is the beginning of revealing your calling and your true craft. Just begin and you will see it will never end.
