I am a painter of bold, colorful flowers, nature, and abstracts. I have sold over 500 pieces of art over a 4 year period online to inividuals and businesses. My niches have been baby nurseries, dogs, and bold flowers with birds

I have been struggling to find out what my purpose is so I can grow my business from that purpose.

How can I really find out what my mission should be?
Any ideas?

I struggle with this question myself... I think every artist does at some point. I think the most important thing is to paint/ draw/ do what makes you happy. If you truly enjoy what you are doing, that's half the battle!

I am really impressed with how successful you have been on Etsy! I started on Etsy in September and want to get into selling prints but am not sure how to start.

I'm not sure if I've been of any help at all, but congratulations on your success so far and good luck with discovering your purpose!

Hi ladies, I'm Angela from Singapore and I'm personally championing a movement called “Come Alive!”, which aims to help people discover their inner spark and to take steps to bring it to live. When I started my journey of discovery some months back, Celes' work was one of my sources of inspiration (thx Celes!). Today, I'm on my mission to attain my highest potential, live a liberated, self-expressed life, and to help others do the same.

Project Come Alive hasn’t been launched yet, but I have just started a pre-launch Facebook page to get warmed up and to start connecting with people. http://www.facebook.com/projectcomealive. There’s a description under the “about” segment. Do "like" our page!

While doing my research for this project, I came across this amazing lady called Kelly Rae Roberts. She's an author, artist and possibilitarian (oh, I love that term!!). I suspect her story may be an inspiration for you. She does BEAUTIFUL paintwork and her mission is to speak the truth through art...Powerful stuff! And guess what, she only discovered her passion when she was 30 years old! She started with Etsy too =) Do check out her website and let me know if it helps.

We intend to feature her story in Project Come Alive. If you are open to sharing your story/ journey too, do drop me a note at angela.lam@skoolofhappiness.com. I think it is so important for people to hear from not just people who are already living their purpose, but also to hear from those who have simply made a decision to start moving in that direction! When like-minded people come together, great things happen.

All the best!
