I began this journey of self-realization in the spring of 2011. I had met someone who was very passionate about this concept called the Law of Attraction; something my little brother had tried explaining to me that sounded like a nice philosophy.
I can remember the feeling I had, as though I was reaching for the light switch in a dark room, just running my fingers along the wall.
Prior to meeting him I was working a very nice office job helping university students find jobs. There was a large window behind my desk with a view of a lonely tree and a brick wall.
I had nothing to complain about, the pay was good, the people were friendly and my life was secure. But I wasn’t satisfied with that. I had this lingering feeling in my gut; this desire to be great and do something that excites me.
The one thing that gave me that feeling was my art. I had never taken an art class, but it came natural to me, like I already understood the language.
The idea to study art came to me after my neighbor liked one of my paintings so much that he bought it for $90. So I applied to school to see what would happen, that’s it, just to see the “what if”, no commitment. Then I learned about the law of attraction and I finally understood that the direction I go in life could be dictated by my thoughts! Could it really be that easy? I took the biggest risk I could; I quit my job and went back to school.
In reading some books, the importance of journaling was a repeated suggestion, so early in my journey of discovery I decided to log my thoughts and experiences. I promised to do this under one condition, that even if I have an undesirable experience I would write about it with a positive outlook. I have been writing for almost 3 years now and have observed so many others go through the exact same experiences.
My objective is to share my stories, from my personal journals (which I intended on ever sharing) in hopes to spread hope, laughter and inspiration.
The following will be real lessons written from the beginning of my art journey to share the message that you too can accomplish yours dreams, if only you believe.
