MONDAY THOUGHTS" BECAUSE YOU WANT TO

Today, I just finished a set of paintings of someone I really admired, for someone who is nothing if not consistent, delightful, and brutally honest. 

I realized that, these days, if I’m doing something, interacting with someone, agreeing to it, going somewhere, or saying “Yes”, it’s because I want to. 

I suppose I’m on a peace-preservation, find-the-Joy, no drama mission. 

It’s awesome.

You could half-step, work to the rule, be mediocre, or half-hearted, but when it comes to the things you realize you’re doing because you want to, your whole self is energized. 

Things you want to do, inspire and challenge you in positive ways. 

You find yourself in “heartily as unto the Lord” mode. 

You get it done, happily, knowing you’ve done your best— and in record time.
