Take what you want and pay the price.
Choose, and then take responsibility for your choices. Certainly there are basic chores and duties of family and citizenship that have to be attended to, but if the functional equivalents of rounding up dust bunnies (or buffalo) is what you choose to do, even if it prevents you from painting, then you've established your priorities. The house is clean, dinner was four-course and yummy, the aloe and jade plants are thriving, and the canvas is blank. If you want a different result, you have to make a different choice.
Rarely when an Olympian steps up to receive a medal does the commentator say, "Oh, sure, gold, but have you ever seen how her closets are organized?" No one pulls the principal cellist aside after a concert and says, "Nice, but will you at least think about that edging along the driveway and all the dandelions?"
More often than we care to own up to, we live exactly the lives we've chosen to live. You want something to happen, make it happen.
