“There is an artist in everyone of us“.
I had read this quote somewhere, a few years back. And I truly believe in it as well.
It is this artist inside us who gives birth to all of our hobbies and passions. I, just like a lot many other kids had hobbies of my own – painting, music, dancing etc. Were just some of them…
But then life happens… and we forget to live.
Or, so is our excuse for letting go of our hobbies and passions.
Somewhere in there it still keeps struggling and wriggling to come out but finds itself trapped inside an invisible cage called “excuse”.
I too was no different. Rather I should say that I too am no different.
There are a still a lot of those down there inside me, which I need to free from the cage of “excusitis”.
A few days back our little daughter came to us with a note from her school. The note was about a “drawing competition” that was planned in her school. The twist was that it wasn’t for the kids. Instead, it was for their parents.
She wanted us to participate in the competition. At first, we weren’t really willing to do it.
There were hundreds of excuses, as always. We had a lot of work to do, the timings were uncomfortable, it was a working day etc.
But for a moment, when I looked at Dilip I felt as if the two of were saying the same thing to each other; “To let go of everything and follow our heart”.
The two of us enrolled in the competition.
This last Friday was the competition. We didn’t win any prizes. But there was a sense of satisfaction. Satisfaction, that we did something we always wanted to do.
Those 2 hours, while we were busy painting felt like we were in a different world altogether. Such was the feeling of contentment.
Both me and Dilip took a decision of not letting our hobbies stay trapped inside us. We decided that we will let them loose.
Recently I enrolled in dance classes along with my daughter, another one of my passion. And both me and Dilip are already enrolled for some sketching classes too.
We are happy that we were able to free, at least some of the hobbies that were trapped within us.
I love this video below, which can motivate anybody to do what they have always wanted to do. Let us free ourselves from the enemy within and follow our passion.
I hope you like this video.
