When your head is cast in bronze, is that when you will finally be happy?
There is a difference between happiness and contentedness. Happy is a feeling, or a showing of pleasure, or of contentment. Contentment is a state of happiness and/or satisfaction. You don’t need to have the emotion of happiness to feel content. There is a major difference.

It is clear…

We all know what love is. I won’t even pretend to know what is right for another person. I’m not even sure that the general rules of romantic relationships actually work for everyone. Each dynamic has its own set of particulars which may not even apply to another persons circumstance.
Foundations
Both love and relationships are the cornerstone of everything we do. There are certainly many different definitions of love. Love can be one of the most intense emotions we can experience, in…

Curiosity is the key to understanding yourself. Asking questions leads to answers which in turn leads to more questions. The more specific the question, the more specific the answer, at least that’s the hope.
The right questions lead to the right answers.
When I set out to to grasp a subject, I assume that whatever provides answers to my questions is of equal value to others. An incorrect assumption? Probably. It is…

The Greeks considered the Muses, the daughters of Zeus, goddesses of creativity. They were the source of inspiration for multiple artistic undertakings.
Is inspiration of divine nature, of mystical origin?
I have learned that creating motion, capturing and utilizing process can enhance creativity. Creative inventiveness can be sourced from ideas which may have come about spontaneously or through actual process.
I have heard it said today’s culture seems…
Read moreI think most all of us consider ourselves decent by nature. If we are suffering, it is only natural to seek a reason for that experience. Victor Frankl addresses this in his book “Man’s Search For Meaning”. How do we connect to our environment? Why do circumstances happen the way they do? What is the best way to live? I believe these questions are the basic foundations of why we seek spiritual answers.
As personal as spirituality can be there are immense disparities in belief systems. Be…
Read moreI have spoken to many people who have great levels of success and one of the most predominate statements they make is of gratitude. They have appreciation for what they have, not necessarily dependent on monetary gain. Also, they speak of the path they have followed, the people in their lives and the circumstances they have encountered. Their success takes second wheel to how fortunate they feel themselves to be by being in the position in which they live.
Where did gratitude come from?It is…
Read moreWe all deal with it. Our art is very personal; it is an expression of the depths of our being. Criticism from others has torn me to shreds. Likewise, it has created feelings of inadequacy and anger. Someone else’s disapproval of my abilities impacts my self worth.
Judging involves having an opinion on something, pointing it out to be either good or bad. Criticism, however, is expressing an opinion on something without pinpointing anything good or bad.
On the positive side, criticism can be…

I’ve heard of this concept called work/life balance. A friend of mine told me his employer taught the concept at an employee work shop. Turns out the job still required a maximum amount of commitment from the employees with little commitment from the employer. So much for balance, as long as the employer gets the lion’s share. Corporate Crap, ad nauseam.
What does balance look like?Some things I have read about balance:

It’s part of the deal.
Sometimes there is just nothing we can do about it. Situations will arise which are completely beyond control. How we react to the challenge is what sets us apart.
There are “tragedies” which happen everyday – I loose my wallet, misplace my keys, the cat refuses to come in, getting stuck in traffic…How I deal with small inconveniences preps me for the big challenges. Yes, I need to work on how I react to life’s little inconveniences. First world…

I Had No IdeaEvidently, Impostor Syndrome is a thought process where a person seconds guesses and may not even believe their abilities, endeavors and achievements are valid. They may envision themselves as being fake; not worthy of titles and accolades which relate to their success and skill set.
