When I Paint My Masterpiece

Sometimes it just takes a just a moment, a little space in the crowding around us, to remember that we create our own lives. Circumstances, excuses, addictions, pleasures, pains & all the ephemera can't define a human being. How we respond to those happenings; how we act on the situations placed before us become the vision we see of ourselves & the projection we feed to the world outside us.

So choose the person you want to be...paint the life you want the world to see as your reflection & be disciplined enough, committed enough to that vision. Watch how quickly you become your own ideal. Do not paint in broad strokes, however, paint in all the details. Layer by layer, the grit, the guts; the grind, the grace, the grandstand. You won't get it right in just one sitting...keep adding to the canvas, redefining who you want to be & you'll become him or her.

You'll become your own masterpiece....or at least have fun trying.
