How to miss your purpose (7 reasons why you should) sample

Image
Today I am writing about the need to miss your purpose. I believe that having the ability to disappear and do something else for a little while can give you space to grow.

This understanding, that we are all artists, creators and that art is everywhere, may be a source of freedom. In Kuumba , we are truly free to express all our emotions, to celebrate the beauty of life from birth to death. Freedom is the bridge between what exists and what could be. When given freedom and space, our imagination can thrive and with this strength we can face challenges head on. We must take responsibility for who we are and where we are going.

 It has been hard adjusting to this new schedule, but I will do it. I am trying to build my stamina for all the things I have to pursue over the next few months, but still remain on course. With my birthday passing I have enter a new phase in my life and I want to get this year right because it will be the catapult that sends me into the things that I have slowly been building on.  In this blog I am thinking about order, purpose, and the concept of Nationbuilding. I am going to go deeper with this in some future videos, so stay tuned:
