Some Evening Thoughts at the start of July
It's interesting. It keeps coming back around and surprises me. The feeling of not doing enough, of not being enough, of not being as far ahead as I want to be. And all they are, are mental abstractions that have no basis in reality.
33,000+ students in 170+ countries. That's an amazing feat. I touched and continue to touch all of these lives. I have served them in some way. I put a part of me into the world. My creations, a part of the talent inside of me, that gift that I have to be able to explain very well. Not every one has that.
For persons to accept, use and benefit from my art, a precious part of me that I put into this world, that's really really something. That's a form of magic, that's a form of amazing.
If I don't start now to give myself the space to find joy in creating my art, if I keep waiting for some special day, then I may never start. And my life will come to an end and I would have regretted that I did not truly enjoy the journey.
I don't want that to happen. That would almost be a crime, a waste of the gifts that I have been given.
