Dreams

It's a simple question. Are we really doing what we want?

Every night as I try to fall asleep I am kept awake by the thoughts of where my life is going. Were my actions significant that day? Did I make a difference? Did I get any closer to my goal? As I have tried to answer these questions over and over again I have found that I don't know what goal I am trying to accomplish. What difference am I trying to make? What do I consider significant? What is my dream?

"When people run in circles its a very very mad world" - Alex Parks

This is exactly how I feel, like I'm constantly running in circles in my mind and trying to find what my dream is. I want to do so many things. I want to inspire, teach, build, mentor, learn. There are so many things to do! 

I finally came to the realization that I have to choose. I have to pick something to run with and work for. Its very similar to starting a project, any project, but for our references we will use an art project. When you are starting a painting for example, you have a blank canvas, this represents your life. Life is a blank sheet that is waiting to be put to use. Much like that blank canvas there are infinite possibilities for what your life will become. And much like life, you have many choices for how to execute the painting. Will you use brushes? Your fingers? Will you use oil paint? Acrylic? Will it be monochromatic? Rainbow? Abstract? Modern? There are literally millions upon millions of outcomes and ways to start and as we all know it can be a little scary.

              You just have to start and make your canvas sparkle!
