Dear creator,
Hear my prayer. I humbly bow before you to plead that you ignore the judgments of others, the little voice in your head that says you’re not good enough, the criticisms of past experiences, the insecurities and what if’s.. and simply create. It doesn’t matter what you make. It doesn’t matter what resources you have at your disposal. It doesn’t matter if you feel like you don’t know how to do it yet. It doesn’t matter if it looks like shit. JUST CREATE. Your life depends on it. Not the literal life of your body per se, but whatever you consider to be the core of your being- your soul, your spirit, your essence- that’s the life I’m talking about. It’s what makes you, You. To be a real live breathing human being is to be self aware and MAKE choices. Every decision we make is a creation of our life, our world as we perceive it. We are all artists/ creators and the only way to get rid of that discomfort you’re feeling, that dissatisfaction with where you are now, is to move forward. MOVE, take a step, make a choice, create. Don’t worry about the end result or critiquing your every step, just focus on one step at a time. Give yourself permission to paint that picture, to write that story, to sing that song or whatever it is that your heart is yearning to do.
Amen.
