Be Intense With Everything You Do

Be intense.

If you're looking at the stars, look intensely.
If you're watching the sun set, watch intensely.
If you're walking to the shore, walk intensely.
When you love, love intensely.

Be present in all that you do, especially in your creativity.

When you draw, be intense. When you write, be intense. No matter what you do, do it with intensity and awareness and purpose. We spend so much time focusing about the past, the future, and the 'now' floats right on by like a leaf in a stream. There's only ever the Now.

Practice being intense. Start with two minutes a day. Start with the drawing you're working on right now. Or the piece of music you're trying to write. Or the story that you're writing. Just try it. See how it feels. Create with every fiber of your being, and then go beyond that. For me, the world goes away in those moments of intensity. There's an energy that rises up and outwards, and time stops. It's really beautiful, peaceful, dare I say blissful.

And now if you like, comment intensely:)
