Day 24 of My 30 Day Creativity Challenge.
I never know what I’m going to end up with when I start a painting. I’m not one of those artists that can picture something in their mind and get it on the canvas. I’m one who starts painting and who is amazed at what appears because it’s usually better than anything i could’ve ever imagined.
I feel like my life is like this. When I was younger, I couldn’t really envision how my life would be. I mean, I always knew that I wanted to be married, a mother, and a nurse. I knew these things since I was 8 years old. I knew, I just didn’t know the who or the how. It didn’t matter thought because I knew it would happen. And it did. Aaaannnnd …. it turned out so much better than anything I could’ve asked for because I trusted and I because I knew that it would happen. My life isn’t perfect, it’s far from but it’s still a good life.
My paintings are the same way … far from perfect, but still a good painting. Still a beautiful painting.
Tell the universe what you want. Be specific. Even if you’re unsure, you still know the basics, and you know what you don’t want. Trust that what you get, the life that you create will exactly be what you want, and need, and it will be better that what you could’ve dreamed up!
