By listening to the creator within, we are led to our right path.

Fatigue can make it hard to have faith. Too much busyness can make it hard to have faith. Too much of too little solitude can impact faith. For that matter, so can a bout of hunger or overwork, anything carried to an extreme. Faith thrives on routine. Look at any monastery and you will see that. Faith keeps on keeping on.

If you work on your creativity, you deepen your spirituality. And if you work on your spirituality, you deepen your creativity.

Creativity is God's will for us and should be practiced like any other spiritual practice -a day at a time.

If we lean into what we love instead of soldiering toward what we 'should,' our pace quickens, our energy rises, optimism sets in. What we love is nutritious for us.

Often it is tenacity, not talent, that rules the day.

Progress, not perfection, is what we should be asking of ourselves.
