Daily Creative: Master the Art of Living

I read a quote the other day and it really spoke to me.  I think I have always felt this way about what I do, but reading someone else’s thoughts about it, really struck me.  Here it is:

“The master in the art of living make little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion.   He hardly knows which is which.  He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing.  To him, he is always doing both.”

That quote was written by James Michener.    I have always believed that God has created each one of us with distinct abilities that only we have.  When we are in our “sweet spot” as Max Lucado says, we are where God has designed us to be.  That spot is where we find this “mastery of living”, it is our ART.  It is who we were meant to be and it doesn’t feel like work, it is who we are.

So my creative challenge to you today is to really think about who you are.  Are you living the life you were designed to? Are you mastering your sweet spot?

IF you are… yea!  I am so thrilled for you, you have found your calling.  Rejoice in it and share it with us… please comment below.  IF you aren’t, it is time to really reflect on this challenge and maybe make some changes to your life.  Life after all, is far too short, and if we aren’t doing what we love and were designed for, then it’s probably about time we did.

Go ahead, what are you waiting for?  The world is waiting for you…
