"The work of the artist is no light matter. Few have the courage and stamina to see it through. You have to make up your mind to be alone in many ways. We like sympathy and we like to be in company. It is easier than going it alone but alone one gets acquainted with himself, grows up and on, not stopping with the crowd. It costs to do this. If you succeed you may have to pay for it as well as enjoy it all your life. You can do anything you want to do. What is rare is actually wanting to do a specific thing. Wanting it so much you are practically blind to all other things, so that nothing else will satisfy you. There is reason for you to give this statement some of your best thought. You may find that this is just what is the matter with most of the people in the world; that few are really wanting what they think they want and that most people go through their lives without ever doing one whole thing they really want to do."- Robert Henri

Clearing Things Up

Labels:

Something I explained in recent conversation with one of my closest loved people, the lovely friend Carol Cox;
in regards to a few current personal/life matters.

"I've always listened to God and followed exactly where he leads me. Thats always been a balancing thing because I know where I'm trying to go and i know whose leading me. So while some people think and come to me saying that im headed the wrong way I know im going the right way because I'm following the One who created my map. I don't question God and no one truely can understand God and why he does things, so I dont begin to try and explain to people what he has me doing. We all make mistakes, I know I make many.But in the end Gods going to get me where he needs me to be. So while everyone is trippin on the present, it seems like I'm the only one not trippin because I know whos in control of my future."
