A few words from my interview with Canvas Rebel

Canvas Rebel Interview 

Below are a few words from my interview with Canvas Rebel (full interview).

 My Instagram account and blog is called Hint of Thought. I believe we can elevate everything to the next level if we have even a tiny ‘hint of thought’ behind it.

•  There is stuff we have to do.

• There is stuff we can’t not do.

• There is stuff we can’t undo.

 Amongst all this is one truth, you have to DO to get anywhere. We tend to spend so much time thinking of how to alleviate risks that it takes us further away from doing. What is risk anyway, but the action before you have all assurances, before your mind has generated a bucket of alternative solutions to “what if” scenarios. Risk is a beautiful thing, risk and perseverance is so much more, it is the essence of living vs. existing.

 As the philosopher Alan Watts once said: What do you desire? What makes you itch? What sort of a situation would you like?… [W]hat would you like to do if money were no object? How would you really enjoy spending your life?”

 This quote drives me daily. This may be about passion to some, but above all it is about reality, your reality. It is about listening to yourself and having the grit to act on your gut feeling, and to persevere as life ebbs and flows.

 I will leave you with this quote by Mary Oliver:
