Every human is an artist. The dream of your life is to make beautiful art.
Don Miguel Ruiz
Sometimes it may not seem like we are an artist. Sometimes it seems like we are barely treading water or muddling through our days. We spend our time reacting to what is happening around us, to the demands presented by others, which is the utter antithesis of being an artist, which is merely answering to what moves you from deep inside.
But we are! Every single one of us one of us is an artist. Now, we may not be a painter or a carpenter or a writer, but each of us is creating our own life and every day is a blank canvas. We can let others dictate what we put on it, or we can take steps to ensure that what we put on our canvas each day is our own creation.
This is not always easy. Every day there are distractions, from the mundane to the tragic to the seemingly splendid. Every one of them must be overcome because they are taking us away from creating the work of art that is our life. Now, I’m a writer and every day I sit down to say what I feel needs to be said. That’s me. It may not be you. In fact, we are all different, so it probably isn’t you.
So what is you? What masterpiece are you creating? We should all be creating our own art, regardless of what it is. To do that, to fill our life’s canvas with our dreams from deep inside is life’s great prize.
