Don't let your strive for work ruin what you are working so hard for

 Don't let your strive for work ruin what you are working so hard for.

I have learned from a young age that a hard, relentless work ethic is essential in life. I am grateful for the lesson, though I have come to learn that. Working hard is a state that can only be maintained temporarily and must be balanced with softness and nurturing towards yourself.

But we sometimes get so caught up in the work that we forget to live and enjoy the things we are working so hard for. Work is important, though it is not everything. Taking it slow, prioritizing rest and breaks is part of productive and effective work. Over doing it could be counterproductive and damaging to your health. It's important to maintain that balance and not lose sight of the bigger picture.

Welcome to Ewelina's Insights and Illustrations

Today I am pleased to launch something very precious to me. My new insights and illustrations series. These are a series of insights, poetry and reflections, that have been coming to me for a few years now. Combined with illustrations that I create. These are personal pieces of my world. I started these at the end of 2019. It was born from an idea I had when deciding how to combine my art with my authentic and personal spiritual connection and insights. These pieces are very personal to me. So I have kept them private for sometime now. I don't know if I will ever fully share all of them. But the time feels right to sharing my insights, personal creative work and authenticity to the world Since these are a bit different from my other work.

Moja nowa seria uwag i ilustracji. To cy...

The Ugly Woman and why you must love her

Image
  We've all seen her, the unvalued, unwanted out of place woman walking down the street. Her haggard appearance makes everyone look away. Sometimes she begs for food, change or just human connection. She is so repulsive to society, that some see her as vermin. She is so far lost in her world of numbing pain that she functions on pure instinct alone. She is well past the point of caring about her appearance, that was another lifetime ago. Now she takes on the role of the collective's waste and unwanted parts. Like Frankenstein's monster, it is woven into her being and she ceases to be a human at this point. The parts of us that are so shameful and repulsive that we banish them in the darkest corners of our being. Somehow find their way to her. Like a hoarder she collects everyone's waste and wears it like armor. She is the ultimate mirror to our suffering. As if she is chosen to carry the burden of the collective's shame and worthlessness. These people are often hidd...

Dandelion in the pavement

Image
  Sometimes in life, we are like a wild dandelion at the edge of the highway. That somehow managed to grow through the concrete. Surviving amidst the hot pavement and passing cars Staying strong and living in an inhospitable environment. There is beauty in resilience and adaptability. We, too, can grow through difficult times. Own the resilience and adaptability of the dandelion. It could be just as special and beautiful as any rose. -Ewelina
