Lace

What do you think of lace? When you look at it, you usually find it beautiful, you appreciate a lot of work in it, feeding on your memories, even sexy pictures come to mind. What is really important about these three factors is that you look for these qualities not only in lace, but also in other things in the world, either consciously or unconsciously.

What makes a work of art beautiful? It can be an aesthetically beautiful picture if the creator uses colors and proportions well; it can be beautiful because it shows a lot of hard work; and it can be beautiful because you feel it is attractive to you. You judge the work of others based on these qualities, so why not your own work? Why don't you think your creation is beautiful just because you put a lot of work into it? Why don't you explore hobbies that you do just to create, let's say, sexual beauty? Why not do something that you feel has a nice visual impact. There is so much to discover in the arts, yet you often don't take it seriously enough, partly because you don't see the kind of beauty in it that you all seek.

Allow yourself to not only do "serious" work, because all work is precious, even if it does not prove to be useful in the classical sense. Work should be enjoyable, and whatever you do, this enjoyment will show in the end result. If you approach it in such a way that only you have to be satisfied with the end result, then you mostly make it possible for others to find the values ​​in it.

Learning all new skills is difficult, don't let that scare you. Currently, you can learn from many sources and from many masters. Just imagine what would have happened if all the time you spent watching TV, watching series, watching movies, playing computer games or reading useless articles had been invested in a creative hobby instead. By now, you would certainly be cultivating that hobby at a master level, and you could proudly have several 10 or even 100 works of art behind you.

In order for your creative energy, your life energy, to continuously flow through you, you need to express it in some creative way. You do this to some extent, but you are given opportunities that can express this creative energy in much greater quantities, thereby continuously widening the bandwidth reserved for creative energy. Not only your creativity can increase over time, but also the amount of life energy flowing through you, which has an impact on all your earthly activities.

You will see that you will be able to build new relationships, you will be able to meet new companies, you will be able to develop yourself in new exciting and interesting directions, although the prerequisite for everything is to believe in yourself, to know that you are capable of it. Don't question yourself during the learning process, as that will also divert your creative energy in a direction that does not serve you. Believe that everything that inspires you on some level, inspires you because you need it to continue to develop in the most effective way possible, even if this enthusiasm does not last a lifetime, but only to the point where it teaches you something about yourself that you did not know before.

To master any new creative activity, in the first stage you have to learn the correct and effective use of the tools to be used, in the second stage you have to bring these tools up to the level of routine, thoughtless use. As soon as you have this, the barriers of your creative energies can be opened, and the many accumulated creative energies that are just waiting to show themselves in your physical form can be broken through.

You will notice the interesting process of taking off the restrictions you have taken on as clothes, such as "you are not an artist" or "you have a serious job" or "this and that is your profession" which is accompanied by "such and such a new hobby" or, for example, that the new hobby "doesn't make any sense, because it only entertains you". I'll tell you, anything that genuinely inspires and entertains has enormous value and significance. Never underestimate and let go of the labels and qualifications imposed on you or by society.

Let this be today's lesson.
