“If you really want to live your life to the fullest and realize your greatest potential, you must be willing to run the risk of making some people mad. People may not like what you do, people may not like how you do it, but these people are not living your life. You are.”

— Iyanla Vanzant

🔵  Here’s a little BLUESDAY inspiration from our Asian art collection, currently on view in Infinite Blue.

The Gita Govinda is a poem written by the twelfth-century poet Jayadeva. It describes the tumultuous love between the god Krishna and the milkmaid Radha. With its melding of romantic and religious sentiments, the Gita Govinda explores an important form of bhakti (devotion), in which a worshipper’s intense relationship with god is compared to a passionate love affair. This illustration from the poem shows Krishna three times: alone; cavorting with a group of women; and then finally reunited with his beloved Radha.

The Reunion of Krishna and Radha, 1714. Page from an illustrated manuscript of the Gita Govinda. Mewar, Rajasthan, Northern India. Opaque watercolor and gold on paper. Gift of Anthony A. Manheim, 1999.136.6

New?

New year. New hope. New resolution. There were a lot of things that happen in the past year. Good and bad. Heaven and hell. Joy and tears. Braveness and frighten.  This one year, people come and go. Welcome the new people and cried the lost of the person you care about.  The memories flew to the surface of the brain. This year. Yeah this year. Perhaps, it’ll go back in the deepest depth of the brain. But the feeling always there. in the top of the surface of the heart.

Is it bad?

Is it bad that you start avoiding people because they only bring negativity around you?

Is it bad that you now know which friend that just supposed to become the "fun friends"?

Is it bad that you start realizing that some people just only mean to went through in your live and never meant to stay?

Who knows the one girl who always been cheerful, smiling, laughing, and carefree is the one who cry until she fell asleep and hope she won't ever wake up

As much money and life as you could want! The two things most human beings would choose above all - the trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them.
