On Creating

Listen.

I can make something beautiful. So can you! There are a lot of crummy, nasty, sad and horrible things in the world. But there are also a lot of fantastic, wonderful, funny, joyous, clever, and kind things! No matter where you look, you can find something to support your ideas. It’s important to choose to think a certain way, to take control of your thoughts and give yourself positive reinforcement. If you are doing something, enjoy it! If you want to accomplish something, break it down into small, manageable goals that will lead to success! If you have to take a risk, take it – and be content with the outcome because you gave it your best. Above all, live a life without regrets, without lost chances, and with the belief that God is in control. He works for the good of those who love Him, and He has prepared good works in advance for you to do! Never give up – He is reason enough. Tomorrow the sun will still rise, food will be delicious, children will laugh; there will be hope.

There is always hope!
