Create your Masterpiece.

How would you describe the “texture” of your life? Is it smooth and colorful? Vibrant and alive? Passionate and explosive? Bland and nondescript? In what section of the museum would the painting hang that represents your life to date? Are you happy with your answers? If not, you are awarded with another opportunity to seize the day and create a life that is aligned with your desires. What kind of picture would you like to “paint” as you move effectively forward?

Let’s move from the abstract to the concrete. One week from today, what would you like to be saying about the week that just passed? Take a blank piece of paper and write the five adjectives that best describe that ideal week. Looking at those adjectives, list three things (for each) that represent that vision becoming truth. How will you evaluate your success in each of those areas?

Success or sabotage? Your life is a canvas and you are its only painter. The only critic is you. No on else has access to the brushes or colors unless you give it to them. Like all great artists, if you are unhappy with your creation, you may always begin anew!

Is this going to be an incredible day? As the co-creator of the masterpiece that is your life, the choice is always yours. What kind of day would you like for it to be? What will you do right now to make it so?
