The Daily Spectrum - Why Am I Doing What I'm Doing?

When it comes to my work, hobbies, family and friends, it's important to stop and ask the question in the title. Otherwise I may be trapped in a vicious cycle. My vision as an artist and a creator defines who I am rather than obligations to others.

I give myself permission to be alive in my spirit each day. Everyone else gets the benefits of knowing me as a fully alive person. What should my life be about? Life is a choice - through prayer and planning. I can receive God's guidance and be prepared for doing work in every area of life.

A right path leads to life. If you're on the wrong path, change is the order of the day. We are designed to be creative. Even though things happen beyond your control, you can still change how to respond. Ultimately, it's what you think about, talk about, and do something about is what comes around. It is brought to existence by our own thoughts, words, and intentions in your heart.

My thoughts, words, and actions bring me closer to my goals. I am a great oil painter. The beauty of God comes through me into my work and out into the world. I can overcome.

I search out every marketing avenue open to me, put my paintings up for viewing and God sends the right person, at the right time, with the right amount of money. I trust Him that I make a living wage beginning now.

Until next time,
The happy painter,
Jill
