I would like to surround myself with beauty. I really want my surroundings to resonate with my ideas about what is nice and beautiful in life. I think the first step to matching my ideals with my reality is making my thoughts beautiful. A beautiful mindstate will bring about increased attention to the beauty that exists in my day-to-day reality, as well as inspiring me to make beautiful choices. I feel this goal is more about my mindstate than controlling outside factors. A photographer takes a picture of what is, but the way they frame the shot is where the art happens. I want to frame my life in a beautiful and artistic manner. I was sort of musing about art today… I feel it is such a spiritual endevour. Creating art (mentally, physically, or meta-physically) is a way to notice and honor your individual experience in reality. Art is reverence.
