Mosiah 3:19

Natural man

               


 This particular Scripture, emphasizes on a natural man as an enemy to God, it deeply explains how much God dislikes a natural man, using Laman and Lemuel in the Book of Mormon as a case study.

  On different occasions, Laman and Lemuel doubted the Lord, they were bent on causing more harm than good, they lacked the spirit of God, they were not patient neither did they trust in the Lord, they murmured at every revelation received by their father Lehi.

There's more to share, but Nephi was indeed the opposite of the natural man.
CREATIVITY

This is not an actual Post about creativity I only want to share something I just recently learned, from a famous artist, DaVinci. 

While studying an article some days ago, I found 7interesting principles to increase creativity..... Almost similar to my last post about passion.

1.  Curiosity> having an insatiable quest for knowledge and continuous improvement.

2.  Thinking independently> learning from experience and applying that in new ways.

3.  Sharpening your senses> paying attention to all of your senses to explore the world.

4.    Embracing uncertainty> getting comfortable with discomfort and managing ambiguity and change.


5.  Balancing logic and imagination> using your brain rather than relying on one of the other 

6.  Balancing body and mind> not focusing too much one or the other.

7.  Making new connections >  finding patterns and new idea combinations from existing ones.

I hope this helps with pursuing your passion and ability to be creative, as I'm also learning to put this new-found knowledge into good use I hope you will too...

PASSION

  > Strong and barely controllable emotion impetuous fascination

 What does it mean to have passion?

Your passion can be anything that simultaneously challenges you, Contrary to the idea that doing what you love makes work effortless, a passion puts you to work, it's what you're willing to sacrifice lesser leisure and pleasures for.


Passion is an intense emotion a compelling enthusiasm or desire for something, also a very strong feeling about a person.

I'm passionate about art, painting, drawing and almost anything art related, 

What are you passionate about? I'll like to know in the comments
Art...

What is Art?

 Art is an expression or application of human creativity, skill, imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated, primarily for their beauty or emotional power...

In my opinion... Art is life itself, the ability to either create or recreate, just like God, Art is given to man by talent from God, or obtained through training, Art is like magic, unexplainable, it can vex the soul and even smooth it.

As an upcoming artist myself, though very much imperfect with my drawing or painting skills, and with a drive to get better here is one of my few drawings and a painting...

With time I hope you get to travel alongside me on my Art journey and please your comments will be appreciated, thank you.
