"Your life has the potential to fulfill your purpose. If, however, you imprison that potential, you rob your life of its purpose and fulfillment. You and every other individual on this planet possess an awesome treasure. Too much of this treasure is buried every day, untapped and untouched, in the cemeteries of our world. Much talent, skill and creativity have been lost to the world for want of a little courage. Many obscure men and women enter eternity pregnant with potential, with a stillborn purpose. Living with ability brings responsibility. Dying with ability reveals irresponsibility." Dr. Myles Monroe
Oh my. This so clearly says what I so completely believe. I am particularly attached (can't think of a better word) to the last 3 sentences. Wow!
I read much about "going big" today as well. And as I was processing my photographs for today, I worked on this one in black and white and then decided to go for a "bigger," over-processed color version. I prefer the lighting, colors and depth in this one. This is quite a dead piece of wood, that seems to have more life now. Perhaps, when we believe we are at our wit's end, we need an extra push to find the courage to engage or reclaim our talents, skills and creativity, as referenced in the quote above. It is with that push, that we can then embark on our definitive purpose.
Best wishes!
