My sister is a painter. She even belongs to a League of Painters. They paint pictures, not houses. But you cannot just want to paint. Nothing happens with simply wanting. She has talent, but talent does not paint. It is in the category of potential. She has to have a certain life-style. Like what? Like a space for painting in her house. Then she has to buy the materials and set them in the space. Then she has to consciously choose a life that gives her time to paint. That is a lot of work before she even puts pencil to paper for an outline. Then she has to practice just like a pianist does on the piano. Sometimes it may be boring or a mess or going nowhere, but the painter does not give up. Inspiration comes to those who set their life for it. So how much effort, time, lifestyle and money do you put into your goals? And are they for the good of others?

Love this so very much! ❤️
ReplyDeleteI'm reminded of the fable about the tortoise and the hare. The hare, though speedier, was eclipsed by the tortoise who simply kept at it, plodding along at his own pace---but never stopping!
