Different kinds of motivation

There are many different kinds of motivation. As I have mentioned to you many times, what motivates you may not motivate your partner, or your neighbours and probably not your kids - and today was a very good example.

The annual sculpture by the sea exhibition is running and will be dismantled and moved on next week - the 22nd to be precise. What motivates an artist to create some of these HUGE pieces, how long it takes, the thought process behind each unique piece. And the same goes for those things I don't understand (aka the weird bits of sticks, the powerless fans, the kids wheelie bins etc) - but still - like I said what motivates one...

And then you have people like me, who visit every year and take lots of photographs and wander through the bodies who aren't necessarily there for the sculpture - just the beach, and why not we have (IMO) some of the best beaches in the entire world. I do invite friends to join me, after all we are about 40 minutes from this particular part of the coastline, but as yet have had no takers - and dragging the kids along last year didn't count. I thought my son (the artist) would get it, but apparently not... but hey. Again it comes down to this one very LARGE point -

If you are motivated to do something, you will find the time, you will find the space in your calendar and you will (in my case) wander through the sculpture, across the sand in bare feet, wearing classic business wear and carrying my shoes. Great fun. I also got lots of photos for you to enjoy...

I hope you too had an enjoyable end to your working week ...

All the best
