Today's Gift
Today's Gift
...you are the artist and
your life is your creation. - Miguel Ruiz
You create the images and colors on the canvas called
your life. Are you creating the picture you want? Does your canvas convey a
life of fulfillment and growth? Or does your canvas convey chaos and
despair?
You are the artist; you Higher Power is your
co-creator. Together all things are possible. But when we mistakenly believe
that other people control our destiny, we end up feeling bitter and hopeless. In
truth, we're in partnership with a Higher Power, or whatever you choose to call
it. Some people call that power God. We make the initial decisions; our Higher
Power carries out our plans. Our Higher Power could not render our lives what
they are without our assistance. We are the artists, and ultimately we call the
shots.
I invite you to consider a different perspective.
This may not be easy to swallow if you are a struggling single parent, someone
who has just lost a job, or someone facing other tough circumstances. You're
invited to first see whether you played a part in where you are. And the best
news you can give yourself is to say yes, because if you played even a small
part, there is something you can do to change that canvas of your life. But if
you played no part whatsoever, then you may be waiting forever for someone to
change the course of your life. And that could be a very long wait.
You're invited to be your artist. And you have
at your fingertips all the necessary tools to turn your canvas into a
masterpiece.
