When I think of what really matters in life many aspects come to mind. As I think further all the aspects merge into one and form all that matters. Sounds really abstract on the surface but when you clear your mind and think on it, it all becomes very simple.
Many will tell you that all that matters is getting ahead becoming wealthy and powerful. Remember wealth and power are all fleeting and nobody can take away what really matters. This fallacy is easily disproved as both wealth and power are easily squandered and used as distractions to keep us from our true purpose.
There is a very real battle between light and shadow in this world, we choose a side in every action we take. The distractions are simply to give us to the shadows to become nothing, those who try to control our thoughts with propaganda only go by the numbers never knowing what really matters. Knowledge is limited,filtered, and skewed by those who wish to share it, playing by their rules means becoming a puppet.
So what do all the aspects I mentioned earlier merge into, simply put the answer is love. Love can not be taken away, quantified, or destroyed. Let go of all the worlds problems and become free of the distractions. Love truly is all that matters and remember creation is the ultimate act of love.

Light and Shadow
Everything we experience as well as our own thoughts and feelings can be expressed in varying degrees of light and shadow. Negative emotions are expressed through shadows and positive through light. Light and shadow can become us, it's really up to us if we wish to live in one or the other.
Shadow is a consuming force that hides what we can perceive but can also create a contrast to illustrate the depth and complexity of light. Look at the night sky, our first impressions are always the beauty of the stars and moon even though the sky is a canvas of darkness with a very small amount of light in comparison. There is no beauty to be found in the abyss of nothing.
Light is a creative force that illuminates all that we perceive, without it there is nothing. With light there are endless possibilities of creation, feelings, colors, inspirations, and love. Freedom is found within light, anything that tries to extinguish is will be burnt to ash within it's power. Anything created from love will always be pure despite those in the shadows who will try to pervert it.
Every action we take is of light or shadow, to create or consume. To consume is to become nothing and through inaction insignificant. If we become a creative force in the world we can do anything good or bad, but are always significant. It's up to us, do we hide in the shadows or become a shining light that can never be snuffed out.

Vision
Those with gumption to do more always possess a clear vision or path that they must take to achieve their dreams. It's all well and good to have a dream but if you never take the steps necessary towards that dream it really is a waste. Those who do not take the necessary steps will see their dreams drift away, every decision is important, and every moment wasted is a disgrace.
Once we take the time to think through and develop a clear vision our next step is to take action. We must realize that there is only limitless potential for the future. Time is of the essence and we need to focus our energy toward achieving our goals.
When it comes to creative work having a vision of what you want to create is an integral part of the process. Our vision comes from our inspirations and should always reflect ourselves. A concept sparks the creative process, channels our thoughts and feelings, and our vision comes into being.
Whatever our vision of the future may be it's important that we adhere to the process of working towards our goal. If we realize we are not making progress it certainly is time to change our process, there is no time for wasted talent. Dream big, never compromise, but don't get tunnel vision blind optimism can be detrimental as unseen obstacles can get in the way of your vision.
This is a concept sketch of how I envisioned Cool Girl looking on the game cover of the upcoming RPG Maker game "Strange Galaxy Black Lotus"
