SEEING YOUR LIFE AS ART
You never know what’s going to come up in the everyday flow of your life. Recently my daughter Makaela and I, signed up for a local studio production class so that I could host an inspirational talk show. In the course of last night’s class we got to try out different roles. During some of the class I was the director, camera man and audio expert. Oh yes I also got to work with the lighting.
We also got to be on camera for five minutes at a time so that the other members of the class could also practice their production skills. It was during one the shoots that I had an interesting conversation. The host who was a painter asked me how I felt about art. I responded that my entire life was an art form and expression of who I was as a person. I explained to her that I was in a constant state of creation.
In fact all of us are in the process of creation. We have created our lives up to this point. And we will continue to create the rest of our lives; but what we create will be dependent on what we believe is possible. And what we believe is possible is determined by our past experiences and the conscious and unconscious patterns that are controlling our lives.
So if we want to create masterpieces we need to see ourselves as masters of our fate; as creators of our destiny; as captains of our ship. Let us focus on where we want to go, not on what is in the way.
