My Manifesto of Insignificance

Knowing that my death is certain and my time of death is uncertain…Knowing that the work I do matters and also will not last…

• I’ll make every effort to do great work & art.


• I’ll strive for progress not perfection.


• I’ll love God & the people in my life.I’ll forgive those who hurt me.


• I’ll strive to know and be known.


• I’ll to be open to life’s adventures.


• I’ll laugh, cry and rest when needed.


• I’ll enjoy today and live in the moment.

I challenge you to write you own Manifesto of Insignificance about your life. For more information about this exercise and the paradox of our lives: both overwhelmingly meaningful and overwhelmingly insignificant and creating great work, go to the Box of Crayons website using the link on the left.
