Whatever You Want

[kerravonsen]

There's a saying: love God and do what you want.

Which is not as foolish as it might seem, because if you love God (first), what you want is to do good things, things that please Him.

I say this because I was pondering what I really wanted to do. I came to the conclusion that I want to make art/craft that encourages people. Even if that is just on the tiny level of making someone smile, or lightening their eyes because they see something pretty. "Brighten the corner where you are." It doesn't have to be big, or grand. Because even though grand things are grand, little things applied more frequently, they do a lot in the long run. (Cue metaphor about water wearing away stone.)

I mean, yes, it is true that I don't think I'm capable of grand things, but I don't even desire to do grand things. Grand things tend to be tainted with ambition, and poisoned by fame. Fame is horrible, I really don't want that. Mind you, the ones who have achieved grandly good things, they've usually done it by perseverance in small things that grew.

If you could do whatever you want, what would you do?
