Do you ever notice that R&R makes your mind race, you think more, and leads to a bit of an existential crises?
No need to panic, I'm not jumping off a bridge.. well not without a harness anyway.
I've taken a few days off. And this is quite a feat because I am quite the workaholic.
But I had a tough week, and after a tough week my brain literally needed a few days of complete silence. And sleep - boy did I sleep.
So now I am rested.
I am sitting at home alone in complete silence and my mind does not stop wandering.
I had a great brunch today with a friend where we talked about our lives and about how to find meaning in what we do.
That made me go back to my "mission statement".
See a few months ago I wrote my life's mission statement. It was possibly the toughest thing I ever did. It really makes you rise out of the superficiality of the every day to think through what is it you are actually LIVING FOR.
I know, deep stuff.
So I wrote my mission statement:
"Live every moment with inspiration and creativity applied to all aspects of my life."
See to me creativity is a blessing.
It signifies these rose coloured glasses I put on my eyes as I see the world.
It makes me envision everything differently; everything is art, everything is beauty.
And when I'm wearing these rose coloured glasses I am learning, I am living, I am loving, I am believing, I am inspired, I see beauty, I am happy.
Now sometimes those glasses are foggy, and dirty, and dark.
But the sooner I can put the creative lens back on, the better I feel, the more inspired my work and my life.
So I have decided to live my life in creativity.
Bask in the glow of my rose coloured glasses and live in a world where a tree is not a tree - but is a beautiful photo opportunity for a piece of art that will hang in my living room.
And with my picture of a tree I ask you - what is your mission statement? What are you living your life for? And how do YOU want to be remembered?
