Article - The Start of it all

The Start of it all

How I decided to land here.

Every now and again, I have this urge to put something out into the World.

I think to myself, there must be something I can contribute. Out of all the things I know how to do, what would be the most beneficial way for me to share it, what should I build, what do people want, what do they need? It all got a bit stressful as I contemplated what my purpose is on the world wide network, where I belong in the world and what my duty is in life. Everything revolved around a thought I had for a while "I want to change the world!".

But how? And why? And what happens thereafter? It was not long before I encountered a quote that reminded me of the philosophical origins of my artist’s name:

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. – Rumi

Change starts from the inner core and radiates outwards. As with all that is Energy and Light, you cannot create it easily but you can easily mirror it. Noticed have I that I am surrounded by too many minds mirroring back into my core, making the room loud even when no one is present. I proceed therefore of thinking less about achieving the perfect outcome and more about finding mirrors that shine outward.

Regards,
@stoikerty
