Mastery

My very first trip to Syd­ney. I will be here for the next few days for the work­place con­sult­ing training.

At the Museum of Con­tem­po­rary Art, I enjoyed the exhi­bi­tion called ‘Liq­uid Sea’. These artists pur­sue­ing their fas­ci­na­tion with sci­ence and art com­bined. On their way to mas­tery. Then I real­ized my fas­ci­na­tion with peo­ple. Lately I noticed I much pre­fer to have peo­ple in my dig­i­tal cam­era images. When I was grow­ing up, I only drew and painted peo­ple. Why such intense inter­est, pur­suit? Prob­a­bly because I just did not get enough human inter­ac­tion with the way I hap­pened to grow up. Spend­ing 70% of my time alone between the age of 2 and 27. A high need child, probably.

As George Leonard says in , those who become mas­ters are not those who are gifted, or who show tal­ent in par­tic­u­lar sub­ject in the begin­ning. They are those who are deter­mined, who are persistant.

Draw­ing, paint­ing, inter­pret­ing. They came so easy. Under­stand­ing peo­ple, being help­ful, act­ing with care. These come so hard, because every­thing had to be learned con­sciously. Maybe I could mas­ter being a mother. Mas­ter to become a con­sul­tant that really changes things for the better.

Great thought to have before the train­ing begins!
