Life is what you make of it. It reminds me of a canvas. You have an opportunity when given a canvas to make of it what you want. You can choose any color or material to create images on the canvas. Some will make it a masterpiece and some will not. Regardless of what you make it at the end of your life its yours and yours alone. Of course what you leave behind is your legacy. Leave a masterpiece and people will remember you forever. Even if you leave a disaster people will remember you forever. You get to decide how you will be remembered. The middle of the road or the average image will not be remembered because it is not remarkable in any way. Many people take this route because it’s safe or they just don’t know how to make a masterpiece. If you truly want to make your life a masterpiece you will have to work very hard. Every color, every brush stroke, every thought and image in your mind must be focused on the goal of making a masterpiece worth remembering. There is no short cut to success. There is no secret to success. It’s grinding and risk without reward before there is ever a reward. Most people are not willing to take that chance. They want the pay off right away. What will you choose to do? I hope you chose to make a masterpiece and recognize that everything matters. The process matters. The success is found in the struggle. It doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t enjoy the effort. Having your mind set on the vision of your final product gives you pleasure because you know that outcome that others can’t see. They may not see or understand your effort as being fruitful and they don’t have to see it. All that matters is that you see it and you are working toward achieving it.
