Puppet On a String

It could be the beginning of something extra-ordinary. Hmmm... I believe that is what every creator on earth thinks. But today my experiment is to create. I'm now creating as I'm writing. Once, someone told that you start creating when you simply start. Or that you can start an achievement when you think you're starting. So let's say I want to stop smoking I simply stop and there you go. Then you have the challenge to maintain or to break it or even to develop it but the reality is that you just started.

It's hard to start. In fact, starting is the hardest. Starting a blank page, starting to lose weight, starting a relationship. And actually, and funny enough starting is not the hardest. The hardest is to keep it. To develop it. To hold on to it. 

And when we start questioning? There's a question!! The question is always dubious. 

So let's not make this post about starting or about searching or about wondering which is normally what I always do. Go around in circles and circles. Talking about my questions and beginnings. So today I would like to talk about people. About stories and what makes those stories interesting. 

Today I was listen to Sandie Shaw on Desert Islands. I never heard of her before but she had an incredible life. She was super famous, super rich but also super poor and probably unhappy. She went from singer to waitress where she was extremely happy. There's no right or wrong, there's no better or worse. But there is doing what you love, doing what you want and creating. We are constant creators of our own life. 

Funny enough the song that made her win EuroVision was Puppet on a String, and there's a sentence that goes like: 

In or out, there is never a doubt 

Just who's pulling the strings 
I'm all tied up to you 
But where's it leading me to?

And for me there shouldn't be a doubt. We’re leading our own lives.

Sandie Shaw an example how life can go around and around but we can still find happiness. She found peace in her ups and downs.

Today I leave it like this. Tomorrow it's another day!
