We are in charge of our lives. We make choices every day that lead us where we want to be. Life is like a canvas and we are the artists of our lives. We paint the person we want to be. Or we paint the person we think we should be. Or we paint the person we think others want us to be.
Are you painting the life you want? Have you chosen a large enough canvas? Are you too stingy with the paint? What color are you painting on the canvas of your life? Blue? Red? Purple? Are you painting flowers? Or dirt? Is the life you are painting happy? Or sad? Or anxious?
We tell our stories through what we paint on the canvas. Others will know us by what we paint. They will judge us by the colors we use or fail to use. What stories are you telling? Have you changed the facts to fit the story? Or have you altered the story to fit the facts? Are the pictures of your life filled with people? Or animals? Or is your life a landscape empty of people and animals? Do you prefer the solitude of the mountains or the splashing of waves against the shore?
Are you timid in how you approach life? Or do you rush full speed ahead and ignore the red flags popping up every where? Do you splash the paint on the canvas or do you make tiny delicate strokes with your brush?
Can you visualize your future? Do you know what you want to paint on the canvas of your life? Do you know what color you want your life to be? Are you only painting the surfaces of your life? Or are you exploring the depths of your soul? If we look into your eyes, what will we see?
Every day we pick up the paint brush and add a few strokes of paint to our self-portrait. Is your self-portrait a true picture of who you are? Or do you need to change the paint brushes that you are using? Or do you need to use different colors that better reflect your character and inner beauty? Are you painting the picture you want to paint?
