Your Life: A Creative Process

Your life is like a creative process. Each day is another mark on the canvas. Each year is like another wash of paint that adds depth.

Sometimes it will feel awkward and other times it will feel breathtakingly magnificent. Sometimes you may feel overlooked or used or forgotten, while other times you'll know you've been found. Every part of your journey is a part of the process that contributes to who you are becoming.

You are here.

You are spilling onto the canvas of your life, sometimes with lines that are strung together and sometimes with marks that land precariously here, then there. Sometimes your life will feel structured like a fortress and sometimes it will feel like it's falling apart. And yet, not a single mark is lost.

Every mark has a purpose that applies itself, unknowingly, to the results of your destiny. Like a thousand strings intertwined, touching, pulling, pushing, as you breathe in and out, moment by moment, each part of the process is forming you. Sometimes it all looks like nothing and yet you are becoming someone who you haven't been before.

Today is a day that matters because you matter. Your very breath has a purpose.

You can follow and trust the process, one small step at a time, one loss at a time, one win at a time.
