“Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.” ~ Rumi
I attended an awesome workshop today for emerging artists. The keynote speaker was enthusiastic. The panel consisted of three artists, but one in particular caught my attention with his gratitude and affirmation. He seemed so well-balanced and spoke highly of his colleagues on the panel. He was definitely fanning flames. He had a passion that was contagious and inspiring.
I am taking this course on how to manage my art career (which I keep telling myself is emerging) and the instructor was one of the presenters today. She encourages us all to set our lives on fire and is fanning my flames. She always has a positive word for me. It is lovely to be around people like that.
With whom do you surround yourself? Do you hang out with people who wear you down? Convince you that you can't? Limit you to maybe instead of yes? Or are you buoyed up by blessings bestowed upon you by those who are your fans? Do you have a cheerleading club who jumps for joy with each leap of faith you make? Seek those who help fuel the fire and set the world ablaze. We need your gifts.
Peace,
Suzanne
