painting your life

It’s worth considering treating our lives as a blank canvas and painting the most imaginative piece with our souls. Treating each day like a new addition of paint. Dreams are only dreams if we choose to continue dreaming. The thought within our minds proves that dreams can be made a reality. We inevitably have to ask ourselves if we are ready for the ridicule that flows naturally through the world. 

This ridicule has no relevance; oftentimes, we fall into the habit of believing these negative comments and taking them to heart. It’s important to acknowledge that we have the power within us to consciously influence positive energy to channel a paradigm shift, as well as hold the power to disbelieve information within the world and think for ourselves consciously. 

We come into this world with infinite potential, filled with infinite capabilities and capacities with all the shades of colors within us to paint a brilliant canvas. As we grow up, sadly, we are domesticated into believing the information set by society. This influences the use of limited colors in our painting. It’s worth considering individuation to explore the colors that work and don’t. There will always be those who try to choose our brush size and colors while choosing to paint their canvas based on what society deems correct. 

Taking the time to fantasize about where we want to take our painting is essential for starting the process toward subconsciously mending that fantasy. Awareness of the ridicule that will forever come with our painting can stand as an obstacle for some, although acceptance and redirection are possible. Once we realize that the ridicule from others is but a mere reflection of the source, we can ask ourselves if we are willing to contribute the necessary energies to the different elements of our fantasy. Willingness to accept that there will be circumstances unknown in the present. Confidence to face these situations with peace of mind, knowing that change is first created within the mind before being exported physically. 

Lessons, also known as mistakes, will always happen; the only perfection is the imperfections within our existence. Each lesson is still beautiful within our canvas. The colors we learn we shouldn’t have used can always be mended into new shades. Experience brings a beautiful chance to prove to ourselves how capable we are. It is never too late to decide to use your imagination as the brush for your canvas of life. 

For those who find it within themselves to treat life as a canvas, adding a new brush of paint by using each day encourages the idea of embracing your true colors.
