From the beginning

We all find ourselves infatuated over a certain subject at some point of our lives. Whether it be music, cooking, or business systems. A sensory stimulation of the base kicking in and moving our emotions around with vibration. That sensational flavor explosion that comes with a bite of an ethnic dish made with love & intention.

From these experiences the seed is planted, our curiosity takes over and we wonder how it would feel and look if we were the ones who were expressing ourselves in this way. One thing leads to another and you start experimenting, coming to the conclusion that cardamom mixed with cinnamon sprinkled on some marinated chicken is nothing short than mind-blowing. Next thing you know your own energetic intention infused with that action that gave you the inspiration that resulted in a new creation.

Whatever seed you are, bloom.

As you grow, different things catch your attention and evoke your curiosity. Soccer was a source of life meaning when you were 6, now you rarely reflect on the fact that you played for 8 years, only when you're dropping in deep with a new friend about your life it becomes retrospective.

Life is flowing and to ignore that is restricting creativity at its core. Insights, inspiration, knowledge and action. 

After some time our life purpose melts into the daily life that we live. The assortment of idea’s and perspective blend into the moments that carry you through your timeline and start making sense in the form of a sentence that is all encompassing of who you are and the impact you will make.

From there, the goal is to own your impact, and fulfill your purpose with passion. A life purpose can be creating with intention and feeling with intuition. Base guidelines that set a playing field where you can let your passions run free and explore, interacting with each other to create something that is meaningful.

We use our external forces, whether that be learning or experiencing for optimization of our purpose. Creation and experience is a purpose, one may argue that it's rather indirect or not that purposeful. However I believe the contrary. It's the best purpose one can have because you're fulfilling it with each moment you live.

From there you're able to use your determination and motivation to categorize your life into focus points and build projects based on the passions that drive you. And the passions I speak of are fields of thought or actions that spark excitement and joy.

Passion and intention run parallel. You may love communicating and connecting with friends to build a strong community. A present intention in your life may be searching for an easier way to communicate with your college dorm-mates, to host meetups and just to connect with a wider variety of people you may not know. That's how Facebook started. And Zuckerberg may not be the prime candidate for this connection. But it paints the picture that purpose, passion, and intention flow together to help you create a project that gives you lifelong fulfillment, and it’ never stagnant. There's always room for expansion, contemplation, reciprocation, that all tie into conscious living.

We are born artists. And then society does its best to beat it out of us.
