Abstract Or Different But Never Negative

So I think it's about time I write a new post, eh? Well, let's try something new. A picture of the day. Though the picture isn't going to be the main point, it's a good symbol for discussion.

What would this "genre" of painting be? Definitely abstract. Therefore, you probably won't see the same thing as someone else who views this. But is that bad? Does that mean the artist didn't make a clear point? Does it mean you can't see that point because something's wrong with you? Yeah, these seem like simple questions we're asked/told throughout school so we realize that just because we think/see something different doesn't mean we're wrong. Doesn't mean we have a problem.

Personally, I see hearts in this picture. And I think of sunlight, happiness, love, bright colors, and everything else good. But that's just me. You may see something else because your brain has a different way of interpreting things. You may see something more abstract in this. You may bring in some symbolism. Your personal experiences may change your opinion/interpretation. But does that make this piece any less powerful? Any less beautiful? You come up to the same destination.

I realize my point may not be very clear. But what I want you to know (something you probably already know) is that different is good. Because that "different" is what works for you. That means you can take a completely different path, something no one would expect, and still reach your goal. Someone else may have the same goal, but their different opinions lead them to reach it a different way. But if you don't stick with your gut, you don't stick with your true self, you may never find your way to that goal. And if you do, it may not be as colorful as you expected. It wouldn't feel as right.

Everyone's dreams are like abstract paintings. You can't figure it out right away. And when you do, you don't figure it out the same way as your best friend. But in the end, when you learn to appreciate it you have that sense of accomplishment and pride instilled within you.

Your Challenge: Tell me what you see in this picture, maybe post another abstract picture that means a lot to you. But more importantly than either of those, take out a piece of paper and write down your goal/your dream. Then think about what it takes to reach that, but don't go into details and make it difficult. Just think about what you can do to reach your own goal. Think about what will make that goal even greater when you accomplish it because of the way you did so.
