Today I want to talk to you about what really matters in life, for me.
Today’s episode is a little special, in that it’s more “meta”. I wanted to share some old and new insights I’ve had regarding what really matters in life.
These are things that I found bring me happiness consistently, and over long periods of time.
Main Themes
Presences – experiencing every fully, as much as possible. This means taking in both pleasures and pain, both worries and relaxation.
I find that when I’m present, I feel a lot more at ease.
Love – giving yourself to others, having good intentions and making sure other peoples’ experience of you is a good one.
Devotion to work – doing what you love and loving what you do.
Letting Go
One of my key insights is about understanding that it all comes to an end eventually.
Every little thing we worried about, and every little thing that made us happy – they all come to an end eventually.
So might as well experience it fully (:
This is sometimes easier said than done, and that is fine. It’s a daily practice. Something to work on and aim towards every day.
Daily Awareness Routine
I start every morning with a daily awareness routine. I meditate, write my thoughts and read my vision to myself, so that I re-remember why I do what I do.
I find this to be incredibly important for my success, and for honing and preserving my motivation and connection to my end goal.
Final Words
I hope you enjoy this episode. Not that art-related, but it’s a few things I wanted to “unpack” by talking to the mic (;
Artist Corner
Today I talked about Lars Lerin. This is a watercolor painter I’ve been told about a long time ago.
He is a contemporary Swedish painter who’s work I really admire. His works are both loose and realistic.
He has this unique type of impressionism you don’t see very often. Very simple color schemes too.
Highly recommend you check his stuff out HERE and HERE (:
