This life is an incredible gift, it is essential to treat each day with reverence. I encourage those around me to discover and orient to their unique gift. Devote themselves to pursue it, sharpen it as a tool, and serve the world.
However, nothing ever happens outside of the present moment. Your purpose is being lived out while you read this word. The first step is to bring your purpose-driven attention to the present moment.
If your aspiration is to become an artist, then embrace the act of creating art in the present moment. Alternatively, if your circumstances require you to attend to other responsibilities first, do so with the understanding that each action contributes to your journey towards realizing your aspirations. By tending to our current obligations mindfully, we pave the way for a future where we can pursue our passions more freely.
