No act of consuming can bring us a lasting and true fulfillment. If we are trying to achieve it solely through buying new things, eating, reading, studying or watching creations of others, it can be fun, helpful or inspiring, but what we actually want, and is really fulfilling, is creating and sharing with others.
Inspired Creation and Sharing
An act of creating is a reflection of our natural flowing state of growth, expansion, and by sharing we are expressing our unique individuality and connecting and eventually uniting with others.
It doesn’t matter much what you are creating as long as it’s coming from the deep space of love. Acting from that core feeling, that gift you have, that spark, is what is going to lead you naturally and with flow and maximum ease.
It’s not important if you decide to share right away or when you have more experience. The important thing is keeping at it for yourself, for the joy of it and realizing what you can do, and how you’re growing. That gives you more and more confidence and naturally you want to show others as well.
You Are Unique
You are unique for a reason. It’s your energy that comes through anything you create. And no matter how many people there are doing something similar, no matter how limited you think you are, or how lost you feel, you are capable of creating powerful and beautiful things. You can create a fulfilled life for yourself and you inspire others along the way.

Your Gift
There is one purpose, the gift you have, and that’s actually a feeling, not a specific career or talent or thing you are good at... And then there are many avenues, opportunities, ways through which you realize that feeling signature.
You can choose all of them or you can choose one or two to focus on and "master". There’s no one right way. It all depends on and comes naturally through your personality.
What Your Talent Is and How You Can Grow
Talent isn’t the same as the gift. And it isn’t a free pass. It’s not something that one is born with and another person simply isn’t and can never have. Talent comes from your focus. From realizing your gift, that feeling signature unique to yourself, and taking inspired steps from that space. It takes practice and devotion and nurturing.
Courage and Taking Action
There’s only so much time and space for studying, pondering ideas, research and preparation. Be courageous. Take steps, any steps you can right now. There are no excuses because there is always a possibility. Have great dreams but practice consistent actions. Check in with yourself to see how relevant they are with your path. If you slide into too much comfortable routine, be bold. Challenge yourself, go through another fear.
Inspiration, Motivation and Encouragement
Inspiration is what makes you begin a project. It’s that first spark, which comes from deep inside or it’s an outside reflection that lights you up. Motivation is what keeps you going, your reason for why you’re doing it.
Another important element of a creative process, and life, is receiving positive feedback. It’s having encouragement and feeling appreciated. That’s an expression of love and connection. That is why it’s so vital to share and communicate your creations. Start with those who support you and you feel comfortable with, and in time go public!
"Precious Daisy" – Inktober day 9
Beautiful art work and inspiring words - but, the truth is, some of the most inspiring art and poetry, for instance, that have affected the world, opening us to new ways of looking at others and ourselves have been born in anger, or under suffering (even if self-imposed mental suffering, as with Vincent van Gogh).
