This really hits home.
You said "There is so much to know and so much meaning in this world". I couldn't agree more!!!
When you stop learning, you are dying! There is always something more to strive for and learn. Inspiration is within you but many of us need an outside trigger to get us moving. I know I do.
I have so many design sources for my jewelry and crafts, sometimes all I need is just one part of an image to get the project flowing. Other times I feel like there's nothing I can create anymore. So I switch gears and stop pushing and instead try to be in a receptive state of mind and let the idea come to me.
It always does and once the flow has begun I can see the end product and I just need to catch up to it.
So get your hustle on...
Well said! Love the picture, by the way. Reminds me of the "meaning of life" dialogues from Of Human Bondage.
