self-expression

In every human being there is the artist, and whatever his activity, he has an equal chance with any to express the result of his growth and his contact with life. I don't believe any real artist cares whether what he does is 'art' or not. Who, after all, knows what art is?

What do you really want?Did you know that every single one of your desires is an expression of your soul's longing to experience human life as you? It's true.These pure impulses get filtered through our conditioning and show up distorted at times, but follow them back to their source and nothing you desire is anything but good and possible.

Writer's block is just another name for fear.

Your desire to make art -- beautiful or meaningful or emotive art -- is integral to your sense of who you are.

As a soul, you have the freedom _ and earned responsibility _ to transpose your personal process of evolution, to manifest your greatest talents and vision, into the work that matters to you most as a means to personal redemption.

Self-expression has to come out pure. It has to have an environment waiting for it. It has to have a garden it can plant itself in.

When Dr. Jung said we must be able to look forward in old age to the next day and to look forward to the great adventure that is ahead, he was making life__ __mperative to grow_ personal. As long as we are alive, we must be able to dream of the future, of a better world or better ways of life. We are also invited by our greater Self to dream new dreams of creativity and fresh ways of expressing ourselves, as many great artists have into their nineties.

True happiness involves the freedom to be yourself.

There was no need for a term like __agical thinking_ in the Golden Age of Man...there was only genuine everyday magic and mysticism. Children were not mocked or scolded in those days for singing to the rain or talking to the wind.

However, Gregor had become much calmer. All right, people did not understand his words any more, although they seemed clear enough to him, clearer than previously, perhaps because had gotten used to them

If you celebrate your differentness, the world will, too. It believes exactly what you tell it__hrough the words you use to describe yourself, the actions you take to care for yourself, and the choices you make to express yourself. Tell the world you are one-of-a-kind creation who came here to experience wonder and spread joy. Expect to be accommodated.

Tattoos are a permanent commitment of passion

Sometimes you have to go a little crazy before you can find sanity. I think I'm close.

We keep waiting to be crowned,Waiting for the world to judge us worthy of offering our brightest, most empowered and beautiful stuff. But that won__ happen. Your next certification or ordination or degree will do nothing for your expression in the world until you accept how unspeakably worthy and valuable you already are to be here and share yourself with us.

It takes courage to dream, to face our futures and the limiting forces within us. It takes courage to be determined that, as we slow down physically, we are going to grow even more psychologically and spiritually. Courage, the philosopher Aristotle taught us, is the most important of all the virtues, because without it we can__ practice any of the others. Courage is the nearest star that can guide our growth. Maya Angelou said we must be courageous about facing and exploring our personal histories. We must find the courage to care and to create internally, as well as externally, and as she said, we need the courage __o create ourselves daily as Christians, as Jews, as Muslims, as thinking, caring, laughing, loving human beings.

When our will is strong and aligned with Divine intent, there is nothing we cannot do or be. With power and guidance flowing through us, Life becomes an effortless dance as we relinquish control and limitation and allow our Spirit Within to express itself.

When you have passion, you don't need coffee.

Each action we take is an act of self-expression. We often think of large-scale or important deeds as being indications of our real selves, but even how we sharpen a pencil can reveal something about our feelings at that moment. Do we sharpen the pencil carefully or nervously so that it doesn__ break? Do we bother to pay attention to what we__e doing? How do we sharpen the same pencil when we__e angry or in a hurry? Is it the same as when we__e calm or unhurried?Even the smallest movement discloses something about the person executing the action because it is the person who__ actually performing the deed. In other words, action doesn__ happen by itself, we make it happen, and in doing so we leave traces of ourselves on the activity. The mind and body are interrelated.
