Day #3 Journal Prompt

Details: Create an abstract Red Panda.

Message: Not only do Red Panda’s have a long tail to help them climb, but also a “pseudo-thumb” or a 6th toe. These animals will also use that tail to keep them warm up in the trees and that extra toe to grasp branches. What makes them odd is actually what helps them do exactly what they were designed to do, climb.

“When you realize you lack nothing, the world belongs to you.” - Lao Tzu. When I create art from a place of abundance instead of lack, I feel full. When I encourage someone or give money or serve someone from a place of abundance instead of lack, I feel full. When we realize we have everything we need right NOW to help us do exactly what we were designed to do, life doesn’t feel so impossible. Yes we will need money, influence, time, and creative ideas to achieve our goals, but those things come at exactly the right time, especially when we attract it with our attitude. Today, I challenge you to create with a thankFULL heart, knowing that right now you lack NOTHING! Yes you CAN do anything!
