Doing Beautiful

“Your art matters...You are a unique expression that will never occur again in history.  So if you don’t give your gift of art to the world, the world is deprived of what could have happened.  So just treat your art, whatever it is, with respect.  It is fragile.  It is precious.  And it matters more than you think.”  
-Michael Hyatt

I was driving down the highway, listening to a new podcast I had just picked up when I heard these words.  I'm not sure what it is about those words, if it's the way he said it, or just the truth that is stated there, but I was moved nearly to tears.

How often do I forget the value of my own worth...
The value of my art...

How precious
how fragile
how important
it is.

And although I believe the product of my art is valuable, I think the act of creating art - sharing art - with the world, with those I love, and those I have yet to love, is also just as important.  The act of doing beautiful things - this is important.

So, I'm committing myself today to doing beautiful.
In my words.
In my thoughts.
In my actions.
In my art.
