You know, tools, methods, and systems - they’re all a reflection of your thinking. So without understanding the underlying principles, without understanding why things work, they won’t save you.

success is a direction, not a destination. So when I make a decision and I know it's coming from higher self, then I'm in that direction. I'm on that higher self path.

🌀 Agnes Martin - My Rabbit Hole of Exploration
Here is the answer to the question I asked in the first post. Agnes Martin discovered that painting was all she needed to be fulfilled in this life. I wonder at what age in life did she discover this? Was it an innate knowing or did she struggle?
I envy people like this who know what their “thing” is. I’m 30 years old and it frustrates me deeply that I don’t have a strong affiliation with one thing. Whether that’s writing, or reading, painting or playing an instrument. I’m starting to wonder if I need to try new things?
What I do enjoy - building workflows with digital tools, solving problems by creating systems does not feel like an artistic thing!
I can build and perfect a Notion or Tana workflow for hours until a solution is found but something feels like it’s missing. Maybe it’s because it’s not tangible like painting?
I don’t know but I think I need to pick up pottery - maybe that will be my thing.
