Acceptance

A friend of mine and I went out for dinner tonight. During our conversation she said that she’s learned to accept herself and that makes it easier for her to be herself in her life. I think she is very wise. When I have things about myself that I don’t accept that’s usually when I become unhappy and discontent. I’m not easy to be around if I get into that.

Being an artist has not been an easy path for me. There are things about my priorities that haven’t always jived with the rest of the world. When I used to paint a lot and I was also working on my music, I would get so altered that it was hard for me to relate to people very well. I was anchored in my heart because that’s where I go to create.

My mind didn’t know what to do with that. It felt like it didn’t have the instructions about how to live my life when I tried to be in the world. My brother once told me that I’m a person who likes to live outside of the box. I guess he’s right about that. What my heart tells me to do isn’t necessarily what my mind wants for me: Hence my dilemma.

Blessings!
