I've had many bright thoughts lately as I'm moving myself in the direction of my dreams.
Every now and then I notice myself losing site of what I want in my artistic livelihood. It's so easy to listen to others people's aspirations and think: huh, i could do that, too!
But, I am learning that I need to focus my time and energy on the things that feed me. I have to be picky and choosey.
I have found that I can be pretty alright at anything I set my mind to. But, imagine what I can do when I set my heart on something with all of my energy, focus, hard-work, and charm!
;)
I don't want to be pretty good at 100 different things! I want to shine as bright as those gummy bears in my particular chosen pursuits!
I found this quote the other day, and I am quite in love with it:
"One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began." - Mary Oliver
Wishing you a blessed day.
truly,
Sylvia C.

Sylvia, I can relate to your post. I try to stay focussed on what I want to do. It's easy to fall of the path sometimes, isn't it? I keep my interests in writing, so that when I feel like I am not focussing well, I can look at this list and I can get back on track. I would rather focus myself on a few areas that I love instead of trying to be good at 100 things too. Too much on ones plate is never helpful.
April,
I am glad that I am not alone in this problem.
Perhaps we can help each other!
truly,
Sylvia C.
