Day 269 of the #365DayArtChallenge2024: “Seducing the Soul” – 6x8 inch mixed media on high-quality mixed media paper. Have you noticed what is clamoring for your attention? Seducing your focus away from what is important. This week I am working on remaining focused. Today’s piece brings to mind the seduction that is taking place. Performers on stage, enchanting you to forget. We get caught up in the whirlwind and lost. Some days I do fall into that trap, but knowing the traps are there helps avoiding that fall. Key take away: Diddy…what other important thing is going on in the world right now? Everyone seems to be focusing on the sage of Diddy and taking the focus off of something else. Something important. Enough said. #Diddy

Reflecting on the 2009 video featuring Susan Boyle, it's striking to observe the initial skepticism in the crowd's expressions, including Simon's, regarding her appearance and speech. Many seemed doubtful of her talent or singing abilities. However, Susan defied those expectations, bravely overcoming her apprehensions to deliver a remarkable performance. For anyone feeling daunted by their aspirations, Susan's story serves as a powerful reminder to persevere despite doubts. Take that leap, conquer your fears, and pursue your dreams with determination. Bear in mind, life passes quickly; grasp each chance to imbue it with significance. Whether your aim is to sing, pursue a career in medicine, law, or attain a particular degree or certification, maintain faith in your capabilities to achieve it. https://lnkd.in/e-yVDF7a
