A couple of weeks ago I was at a conference and I saw an article that was written on self-awareness and how the more we know about ourselves, our lives, and our surroundings, the more we can control our own behavior.
That’s not to say we’re not aware that we’re living in a world full of weird things and weird people. We know that. So in fact, we know a lot more than we think we know. We’re able to recognize patterns and even recognize our own patterns, but we still don’t know why we’re doing what we’re doing.
People like to believe they’re in control. But that’s just not true. What really gives us control over our lives, behavior, emotions, and thoughts are the patterns we follow. And the only way we can be aware of those patterns is to consciously decide what we’re doing, and when we want to change it.
The only way to get really good at this is to go back in time and change exactly the same pattern over and over again. If you take the time to look at your own patterns, you will see them in a different light. You will see them the same way you look at the patterns of plants. They look the same, but to you they look different. It takes time, but it is ultimately worth the effort.
The same goes for thinking of patterns in songs. If we want to change a song, we have to actually decide what we want to change. We have to look at it from the perspective of what we want to do with the song. We have to look at it through the lens of our own desires.
The lyrics of a song are one element of the song. They are the language of a song, and they become the song itself. When we listen to a song, we look at it with the lens of our own desires. We hear the song through our own ears and we see what it has to say. That’s the whole point of music. So the same goes for painting. Paint can be seen as the language of the painting.
We look at our house and see how we want it to look. Its walls and floor are the language of our house. The language of our interior spaces is the language of our house. So painting is the language of our interior spaces. Like a person with a foreign tongue, we can paint our house to our liking. We can paint it to how we want it to look. And like a person with a foreign language, no two persons can paint the same house the same way.
It’s not as though you’ve already painted your house to your liking. You’re just painting what you want. Because the colors you want to paint are all just the same colors. If you look at a poster for the new The Hunger Games movie, you’ll see an old poster with a big smile, and that’s not what you’re wanting.
If you really want to tell your visitors about the new movie, you won’t tell them about the characters. The characters will be represented by actors dressed in period style outfits, and the posters will simply have huge posters of said actors. Thats not what you want either. What you want is for the posters to be about the characters, and not the actors. The only way to do this is by using words.
