Consider your Art.

We are all artists of one kind or another. With every thought, word and action, we are participating in creation. When one speaks of "creating," we often think in terms of painting, sculpting or building. The truth is that the every act of living is a form of creation. The real question is, what are we creating?

Stop for a moment and give some thought to what you would like to create for yourself and for others today. The day before you is a blank canvas awaiting your command. What is the attitude, emotion and energy that you would like to create today? What do you believe are the most effective actions that you can take in that regard? If your life today was a painting, what should it be entitled? In what section of a museum would it be displayed? How will you review your success?

Success or sabotage? Success is an art unto itself; it is born in and through you, sustained with your conscious thoughts, words and actions.

Is this going to be an incredible day? Every day is harboring great beauty; are you able to open your heart and eyes wide enough to receive it?
