What if

 What if you are a dancer, singer, writer, chef or gardener? What if taking a small step down the creative path opens up a whole new world for you?  What if it is a world that is just for you?  No need to be productive.  No pressure.  Just pleasure.  Is doing something for your own pleasure a foreign concept? 

What if

What if I am willing to go beyond what I usually believe?  What if I decide to create new beautiful stories instead of the same old ones?  What if I create a list of 10 wild crazy delightful things I would like to happen?  What if they are not in the least bit realistic but they spark joy in me?  

What if

“Be wild and boundless. Why are you crawling when you have wings of imagination?” ~ Debasish Mridha

What if

What if enough is enough?  Who decides what is enough?  Am I enough?  Well, yes, yes I am. Since I am the one that gets to decide what is enough I choose to be just as I am.  The hurting child inside me I tell 'You are enough. You don't have to live up to anyone else's expectations'.  

What if

What if I trust more in connections and support?  What if I don't have to go it alone, make it happen for myself?  Be a lone wolf?  Being a highly sensitive person I feel safest when alone.  I am willing to change.  What if I believe there are people who truly want to help me as much as I want to help them?  What if I open myself up and don't get hurt?  I think there is a wonderful kind of magic that can happen when we allow others in.  Into what?  Life? Heart? Mind?  I am learning to trust.

What if

What if I do a deep dive into my shadow?  What if I accept all my anxiety and fear?  What if doing that makes me whole?  Or feel enough?  I have long held the belief that I should cut away my darkness.  How idiotic is that?  I think I need learn from it not get rid of it.   Can you ever truly get rid of it? 

What if

What if I base my success on how my art has enriched my life and how I felt when I created it?  My art adds value to my life.  I add value to this world because I am a better person for making my art.
