SARK: Picture this: You are writing in your journal and your cat jumps up and bumps into your pen making a big black mark! Follow that black mark ... onto your nearby pillow where you decide to draw an ink portrait of your cat, which leads to more pillows... and more portraits, which you make for friends, and take great delight in and then somebody silk screens it and you use the profits to sponser two inner city cat shelters...
I am highly fond of this idea of there being no such thing as a mistake. We are all familiar with the expressions around there being no such thing as a mistake and it's all a learning experience in life.
I think really it's all a kind of happy mistake that I happen to be in the position that I'm in now. I hapharzardly got involved with volunteer work with the museum that lead to my trip to India. It wasn't really a conscious decision that lead to my situation - more one small event that lead me on a trail...
Similarly in many aspects of my life I've begun courses and projects that may have been a mistake or didn't feel right for me but in turn have lead me down many great paths that have brought me to the situation I am in now. If I hadn't tried out these things I would not have acquired the experiences and titbits of knowledge that have provided the new ideas I have today...
Follow your minds natural intuition to find new experiences and creative juice...
SARK:A mistake is new food for a new invention".
(Interestingly when I spell checked this post, it declared the entire thing to be a mistake due to the language crossover on the wifi).
