Fear and Anxiety are useless.

 Today after speaking with friends I realized I still have worries and anxiety of what I'm producing. Since most of my endeavors don't accumulate money, sometimes I forget their worthiness. When I ask myself, what is my purpose? I think too deeply on it.  I care for my family, I teach, I write, I paint, I cook, I clean, I read, I walk, I sit in nature, I talk with friends, I care for myself...I live freely. Freedom is a state of mind. Happiness is a state of mind. When I sit and worry over purpose I am wasting the joy I feel just living. I have worked hard on not living in the past, but not worrying over the future is work for me now. I sometimes start the comparisons of my body of work with others and it makes me question myself. It is important I live in the present and understand that it is useless to compare. I must be content with my own abilities. I can find inspiration, but I must not compare. Each person is on their own journey as I am on my own journey. Inspiration, not comparison. That is what I am working on today.
