A pinch of wisdom with a pinch of salt

This morning I was wading through some day cards that had certain words to accompany your day. 
I picked my random three being: freedom, clarity, and happiness. Pretty optimistic might I add. 


Freedom is one of my favorite nouns. I used it for a lot of my art works during the winter time in Norway..  Here is what it means for me:
- an ability to reach goals
- have a fresh spirit, strong mind and healthy body
-self control, because if I cant control myself, I am not free to be the real me
- self expression is very important 


Clarity
- an observation of things, an insight
- listening to someone with different views to my own. Thus stretching my own boundaries and realities
- clarity makes me thankful 
- clarity can come with patience. 


Happiness 
- happiness co-exists with love, be it romantic or platonic!
- self respect , acknowledgment of myself 
- being taken seriously and respected by others.
- inner peace
- understanding that everything changes
-resourcefulness
-BEING FRIENDS WITH ANIMALS!
-patience
-the will to do something (passionate)
-having trust in the world




Here are a couple of other words I found interesting


Harmony
- balance between right and wrong, inner hot and wet energies (Chinese medicine)
-harmony can come through music, arts, and even an invigorating conversation.
-sleep + sexy time


Purpose
To trust your instincts and listen to the world around yourself.
