Life is messy. Sunrise. Sunset. Birds singing. Brewing a fresh cup of coffee. Life is chaotic. Life is fun. Life is surprising. Life is triggering. Life is healing. Life is a perpetual learning experience. Life is creation. Life is art in motion. Life is inspiration. Leaning into enjoyment/pleasure is just one of those ways we can access the flow state. Allow yourself to tap into following your bliss. You can access this via the pursuit Creation is a state of being. Follow an artist around and you will see this being illuminated. The pens, paintbrushes, papers flailing, works in progress, finger clacking at away at the keyboard, groaning and grunting. They literally channel creation. When your passions, interests, and ability, is when you will reach this state where you may feel as though anything is possible. This is because when you participate with the flow–you tap into the essence of creation. Watching an artist work is like a mother giving birth—there’s pain, delirium, tears, ritual, the cry, the ecstasy, and then the emergence of new life. Inspiration is all around us. You just have to be tuned into the energy.
There is so much power in surrendering to your own process. There is a method to the madness as they say. Following your impulses to create takes a sensitivity to what makes you feel alive and connected to this world. When you utilize your gifts and talents, you not only serve yourself but for humanity. Everyone has the capability of tapping into the muse that artists use. With that being said, since we all create our realities, we are all creators/artists. Tapping into the inspiration is not an impossible feat. Whatever source you draw from, let it wash over you. Bask in the energy of renewal. Creation is a means to commune deeply with yourself. Creation is a way of reflecting aspects of yourself to the world in a way that is tangible, emotional, and purposeful. Creation has a way of showing you what you value. When you speak, you either bring life or death to people, places and things. That is the kind of power that your life force has. When you move, the entire world shifts. When you utilize art as a medium, the world is enhanced. Art is practiced passion, discipline, and devotion.
