Friends.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how much time we spend in life trying to make things easier so that we can finish the task, check the box, and move on to whatever comes next.
And. I mean. I guess productivity is good.
BUT.
What if we’re so focused on getting to the next destination that we miss the life that’s happening along the way? Because what if the process itself is where the fulfillment actually is?
Hm.
In this short solo episode I share a story about a commissioned "Garfield" painting that took me three days just to get the shape of his head right. I erased it over and over, even traced the shape at one point ... only to erase that too and start again.
Eventually, though?
I realized that getting the painting finished wasn't actually the most fulfilling part because (in reality) there was something surprisingly meaningful about the frustrating, messy, imperfect process of creating it.
That got me thinking about the other areas of life where I do the same thing — especially parenting.
Check out more HERE and let me know what you think.
Much love.
