Lamenting on "Ifs"

11102011

The past few months were a trial. I have been quite busy with going around exhibitions, inventory, painting and promoting my own works around. I guess it is a humbling situation to be bogged down most of the time. I keep a positive outlook and persevere always. I am well rewarded by patience and sincerity of most people. I enjoy life and I hope to enjoy living it up. I keep life's challenges at an arm's length and the gains in the same light. We are always better on the next attempt and we just go on with it.  I have treated it well and no more regrets for me today. I have more choices in life than I could handle and I thrive on these sudden events.

Preparing and being prepared for the unexpected has their advantages. I had prepared all my life and worried much but that doesn't make my life complete. It just makes it bearable and convenient. We have only this lifetime to do the things we dream. It just starts this minute and let life lead you a merry chase. As an artist, I have the flexibility of time and attention to details. I am back to stay and make this count. Prestige and fame has come and gone. Memories leaves wanting yet satisfaction always if one has tested one's boundaries always. I hope in this I dont have to many regrets to burden me. I always have thought that seeking out the best people in their own fields and sharing lifetime and their thoughts bring about a more fruitful and fulfilled life.

In this lifetime we also need to pass on forward all that we can. In having shared the greatest experiences and triumphs, I feel accomplished and content. In helping others especially the young ones about life then a greater plan unfolds. If one could be all then all for the best. If  it proves to be another challenge then we take it as such.

I find that as long as I could do a little bit in life, I do not worry about making it count. I fear always that I could not do my best at all times but who does? We only have the approximation of our best. We have ourselves to retrospect and a nagging self is a bad company.
