passion

I should be asleep, and dreaming – but I got caught up in colors!  It’s fascinating how easy it is to manipulate colors on the computer.  I’m engrossed with the experimentation of re-coloring.

Since the peacock is full of rich colors anyway, he makes a great canvas to play with.

This is a first draft of the peacock – I’m not totally satisfied with the clarity – not yet.   And, speaking of clarity…..

My vision is improving.  I am seeing the importance of passion – only just lately.   Truly, it’s everything.  Passion is everything.  creating is everything.  Creating wonderful work is everything.

passion is a pretty good guide. (Epiphany alert!!)

I used to think i was too passionate about work.  But work has to be passionately wonderful. If it’s not, why do it at all?   For money alone?  No.

There’s a difference between “work” and work. In the past I thought personal success was measured by how much money I could make.  And, in a sense it is, but it’s not integral, passion is first.

It’s about passion first, then money will come.  It’s about creating and doing the work I love to do. That’s it.  Well, it’s about time I figured that out!

Life is good.
