I'm in the process of having a major revelation. It's not one of those things were a light bulb just goes off and you have some crazy wave of clarity. No, this is more like one of those flashlights you have to shake before you turn it on. Yeah yeah. Im shaking things up so I can see the light.
So here's this single statement that I'm beginning to understand:
Live life doing what you love to do.
Simple right? I thought so but not so much. I thought I could love alot of things. What I'm discovering is that I can like alot of things but I can only truely love a few. And I thought I could come to love things that other people love. But that's not really how it works. You can only truely love something when you experience it because you want to experience it. That's when the love is cultivated inside you. When you come to love something completely on your own.
So I think the trick is to figure out what you really love and be really good at it. Even if it's one thing. People are not all-purpose flour. Nope, we're one tiny ingredient in a really complicated recipe. Like nutmeg. Nutmeg can never be salt or basil or chocolate. Nope, nutmeg can only be nutmeg. But what nutmeg needs to realize is that she's very special to the final product.
So do what you love and do it well. Make this life your own.
About Me
- Chelsea Fenn
- To write about one's self is a very difficult task. You have to choose your words carefully. You don't want to boast too much about all the great qualities you have or the stuff you've accomplished because then you sound, well...boastful. But you have to write something. So I guess if I met you and you asked me to tell you about myself I'd say I'm a work in progress. I know where I've been, I'm not sure where I'm going, and I'm content with that. Transformation. That's the current chapter of my life. Profoundly stated by Byron, "I am not now that which I have been." I hope that is a true statement until the day I die. If not, then I've already died.
