from the mind of critic-11/16/17

From the mind of critic: “If the greatest things in life are free, are they also the hardest things in life to find, because we can’t run down to the corner store and buy them? Does not having monetary value make somehting more elusive, because it shifts and changes it’s form and location, depending on the person looking for it? If hard work doesn’t guarantee success, will we be okay with possibly never finding what we’re looking for, no matter how much blood, sweat and tears we put in? Constantly pursuing success in career and love for our soul, can bring discouragement and lonliness if we never see clues that brighter days are ahead. Is there a way to stay motivated, so one day we acheive the success that drives our passion, and the love that makes our soul sing? If I knew the answer to that one, I woulnd’t presently feel the way I do. What keeps me going is the knowledge that I still want love and success, and the only way I’ll find it since I haven’t yet, is to stay open to it for that day when it shows up on my doorstep. How do I stay open? I keep putting myself out there, until something does come along. What else am I going to do, sit on my ass and give up? That would be like saying I don’t deserve it, and I definitely do. I will never give up, I will never slow down. I just hope that one day it lead me to the love and success my soul yearns for. The greatest things in life are free, but not from effort.”
