Love generously, praise loudly, live fully. This phrase came to me after contemplating what I would tell the world in order to influence people everywhere.
I believe to love generously is to give a part of yourself to those you care for and people who come into your world unexpectedly including those few who you may not particularly like...then, give them praise so they may hear it.
Praise someone for no particular reason praise them out loud it may save their life. As humans we spend so much our criticizing one another our society lacks social praise. We must strive to build one another up rather than tearing down and not sole for our abilities rather for simply being alive and human.
Live fully, let nothing get away from you. Take life in, fully, deeply and with wild abandon. You get one day to be all you can be grab on to your twenty-four hours and live. So much time is spent living in the past and looking to the future. Take in your day while it is day. Taste every morsel, feel it, touch it, drink it all in. Embrace "all" that comes your way.
Along my journey as an artist I spent hours designing and painting pottery. During those times I received visions and answers to some very difficult and heart wrenching questions from my life. During the darkest hours art became my refuge and an awakening.
I encourage you to look into yourself, discover who you are, and love generously, praise loudly, and live fully. Caution: this is much easier to say than do. The rewards however, are unending.
