Answer Experiments in Creativity #6 - Grow in order to Give

I just finished watching the Tony Robbins video as the first step in assignment #6 from Lisa.

Grow in order to give and give in order to grow is the message I take away from this fast paced, emotional rollar coaster, inspirational and intriguing look at how we become who we are and how we can move in the direction we would like to go.  I know this is one of Lisa's favorite videos to watch and I feel like it is one to watch more than once.  I walked away feeling refreshed and recharged.

I think for me another powerful thought and lifestyle choice that Tony Robbins endorses is believing that strangers care.  I jokingly call myself a vouyer because I am extremely interested in those people I have never met and will never meet.  I want them to know that I, in fact, do care about them and I want them to know that they are significant to me.  Every person plays a vital role in every person's life simply by being alive.  I know that Lisa is on the same page as me in believing in the butterfly effect of human nature.  When you inspire one person you inevitably inspire more and more and more people as the feelings are shared with and passed on to others.  That is one of our hopes with the projects we develop here at Art is Moving and will be one of our main focuses for 2011.

I won't go into the heavy details of my answers to the rest of the questions that Lisa had me ponder.  Instead, I would encourage you to do the same for yourself.  I do want to say though that I feel as though I need to keep track of my magic moments a bit more.  But, then again, I don't want to put pressure on myself or feel like I am keeping score of "the good times."  I tend to be a perfectionist and turn everything I do into almost a competition with myself.

As always I have many ART plans for 2011.  Lisa and I are always coming up with new ideas and want to stretch our reach and give art to as many people as possible.  So, 2011 will be another year of hard work, experimentation, and discovery.

I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE IT!

Lastly, I want to write a gracious thank you to all of our readers/collaborators/fellow art advocates.  You keep us going with your involvement, comments and encouragement.  I feel like our community is really starting to develop and grow and we are making a positive difference in the world.  So, thank you.

I took my notes from this experiment and made paper from it.  I  wrote myself a little reminder to read every morning during 2011.

Happy New Year to you all.
