I'm doing 16 things
A comment I have been hearing a lot lately, or at least been actually listening to and understanding lately, is that everyone wants what they cannot have. I can see that truth, especially in myself. I have curly, dark hair and I buy a flat iron and dream of dying my hair blonde or red. I work the night shift and request a time when I can actually see the sun. The list goes on. And on. So will I ever be satisfied?
In application to this entry . . . what are the terms of my financial success? At what point is success . . . success? Where does satisfaction and success meet eye to eye? Will I raise the bar everytime I catch a glipse of some showy trinket or piece of furniture I just need to have? Where is my line drawn? I suppose I will have to define that one on my own before I can work on this goal.

So “they” say that when you are born your brain is pretty much smooth; and the more you experience, the more creases and wrinkles form. If you ponder a scenerio for long enough your brain will more than likely generate the possible outcomes for the particular instance. Does imagining a consequence and experiencing a consequence matter to the brain? Would a person . . . could a person learn from an idea? Can the mind program itself?
Rather than living by the essence of art, what I mean when I think of being more artistic is to practice creating. I want to draw, paint, write, sing . . . pretty much DO ANYTHING that will allow myself to shine through, radiently, proud, and free. I want to express myself without a boundry . . . without a criteria. I want to orchestrate beauty. I want creativity to flow and that, to me, is defining artistic. That is what I mean. :)
