So many ways

living our own life (1 of 1)

“There are so many ways to be brave in this world. Sometimes bravery involves laying down your life for something bigger than yourself, or for someone else. Sometimes it involves giving up everything you have ever known, or everyone you have ever loved, for the sake of something greater.

But sometimes it doesn’t.

Sometimes it is nothing more than gritting your teeth through pain, and the work of every day, the slow walk toward a better life.

That is the sort of bravery I must have now.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

 

The Things We Love Doing

“You can only become truly accomplished at something you love.”
― Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou was a wise woman. She worked with things she loved and they became art. A friend of mine does the same. The photographs above are snapshots of her artwork and features of her house.

I also love creating and I find it very difficult to live without art and beauty. Is it the same for you? How do you nourish your creative soul?

The artwork above was made by Dorota Szmechtig-Szturo. You can see her other amazing talents here.

Thrive

“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.” Dr Maya Angelou
