Everything is connected – everything – and art and life bob and weave in a wild dance together in that great amalgamation of all that is. So who influences whom in this interplay? Over 100 years ago, Oscar Wilde wrote “Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life”. Yet, if you stop to think about it, it’s easy to see how art influences life and then our lives influence our arts – on and on in a continuous circle such that if we try to say “life imitates art” we stop briefly and ask ourselves “is that how that quote goes?”.

If you’re not living fully on purpose, then why is that? Are you afraid? Is your fear keeping you from living “flat out”?
What are your afraid of? Are you afraid of failure? Are you afraid of success? Are you afraid of being judged by others? Are you afraid of being judged by yourself?
Get over it! Whatever is holding you back – release it! Move on!
Live your life fully on purpose. Do what you came here to do.
Blessings.
