“The silent moments of meditation, the seeking of reason and purpose, are great sources of growth and will ever be valuable in the progressive person’s life, The right to seek is one of the greatest opportunities.”
All my life there has been the encouragement to take the bull by the horn so to speak. What stopped me was myself. I came to realize this as I moved forward in my metamorphosing state of being. The ideas of having a purpose, experiencing growth, progressing in one’s own life, and waking to opportunties____these ideas fill the world! There are many examples and ideas. I would read and believe something was a great idea. I would start ideas, and not follow through. That’s the thing! I expected things to end. And in believing it would fail I did not do myself any favors! I would give up.
Most things are stem from self-talk. Commitments can become realities, but if your self-talk prevents you from taking action. Self-examining the undercurrent is necessary. You need to get to the bottom of why you’re undermining yourself. Pulling something off takes work. It takes commitments! It is important to believe and trust in yourself, have respect for the self, and love yourself and what you do!
I am thinking of these things, regarding what I am currently doing. These are the things I want to apply.
I live in Southern Maine. I am the owner of Anisette Studios. My website is https://www.anisettestudios.com/ Here you can view and purchase Shibui, sign up for my newsletters, blog, and read articles about Shibui Found Image Art. Patrons get great deals several times a year and special items at times. My site makes it easy to contact me. My primary art form is Shibui Found Image Art. Shibui begins with action art and stems from the imagination. It is like seeing something in the clouds or solving a puzzle. Its creative process has its own rules and requires what I call reverse engineering due to a lack of an understructure and purely out of the imagination. In addition to those who patron me, my target groups are those who use art therapy. I will soon be teaching live. Contact me if you would like to learn live. I use Zoom. I request that although my art, other images, and what I write is now published by me here on WordPress; I do ask you do not to use my artwork, poetry, or the information about Shibui Found Image Art without my permission. I am quite available to make such requests. I wish to share the following: The existentialist philosopher Simone de Beauvoir wrote a book called The Ethics of Ambiguity. In it, she lays out a guiding ethic in response to the philosophy of existentialism. It might be somewhat familiar to you already. She writes, “To will oneself free is also to will others free. This will is not an abstract formula. It points out to each person concrete action to be achieved.”
Best wishes to all! Have good times and keep safe! Pejj
