Be The Courageous Artist Of Your Life

We are all artists. Every one of us. We all have courage. Put the two together and what do you have.? A courageous artist who is the creator, painter, director and architect of their own life. We think of an artist as someone who creates, correct? Beautiful music, paintings, designers, renaissance masters of days gone by.

Each one of us, each human is a work of art, a work of courage. We are all here to design and create, yet we do it outside of ourselves for the most part. What about designing from the inside? In this way we each become the unmistakable master artist of what shows up in our lives. How about the art of seeing yourself as you really want to be – in all your perfection. Creating a perfect vision of your life and holding that so close to your heart KNOWING and FEELING the reality of it. There are universal laws that apply to everything. We KNOW the sun will rise in the morning and set in the evening. This is a universal law that will act as long as the intelligence behind it desires it to. Universal law is changeless, eternal and in perpetual motion.

The “Great Art of Becoming” who and what we want always includes the “Great Art of Undoing.”   How about deciding that any unacceptable appearance that comes into your life has no universal law to sustain it?  Remember, you are the intelligence behind the appearance and have the power to undo it.  Move into a place of Knowing.  Feel the difference between Knowing and Believing.  Compare the feeling or vibration of the two words.  Knowing is light, Believing carries a heavier feeling.  When you Know it is so easy to feel secure and safe.  When you Know, you are the artist painting a life of beauty and perfection.

There is only one universal law that has no opposites and that is LOVE.  When you have a belief in two powers that is duality.  I like to think of it as The Tree of Knowledge (duality) and the Tree of Life (love) – we have a choice.  What kind of artist are you?  Will you live from fear or love?  Because you are a great artist now and Know the universal truths of perfection – when an appearance shows up, you know it is a complicated and compromised manifestation that has shown up from a belief in duality (good vs evil.)  You do not believe in that anymore – no no no, you believe in the Tree of Life which is the one law, the law of Love.  In fact, you take another step as the artist, you do not believe at all! Believing has been replaced with Knowing.  When you Know, you do not have to Believe.  Are you getting this?  Just know that love is the answer and has no opposites.  Love is a universal law that is changeless, eternal and in perpetual motion.  In truth, you are Love and nothing else.  The return to Love is the long journey you are on.  I am here to provide you with the tools to take that journey.  These tools have been given to me to share with you for a life that is well lived and a life of Living in Courage.  It takes courage to live from the Love of your heart, but I KNOW you are the most exquisite artist in all the universe.  By the way, this journey is supposed to be fun, so while you are painting, do it with joy and laughter.  The universe will hear you and respond with gifts you can only imagine. Oh, and never forget to express gratitude for that is the signature on your beautiful painting of a life well lived.

I send you Love from my artist heart to yours,
