The Marble not yet Carved...!
"The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has"
spoken by Michelangelo
------------------------------------
There is a true story about a boy and Michelangelo:-
"Why are you working so hard on chipping away on that block of marble?" a small boy asked Michelangelo one day as he watched the master carefully and painstakingly chiseling away.
Michelangelo thought for a moment then replied, "There is an angel inside of this rock and I am just setting him free!"
And...
that Angel was to become Michelangelo's greatest masterpiece - 'David'
-------------------------------------
This incredible ability of vision is what allowed Michelangelo to create!
He could see... visualize and realize his dreams - can you?
Vision is powerful as it opens up your eyes so that you can see a potential masterpiece, not only in what is overlooked or considered worthless by others but...
it enables you to discover aspects of yourself contained within, that you never realized, or believed, could exist!
Having a power of vision for yourself, and others, enables the following:-
Passion
But... without Passion life becomes heavy and filled with 'routine' - Your outlook becomes dull over time and you adopt negative beliefs about yourself, your life and even others!
With Passion life takes on a different slant - when you wake each morning there is that bubble within which cultivates a belief that there are amazing somethings out there, something just waiting for you to grasp... take hold off and achieve! You adopt positive beliefs about yourself, your life and yes... even others too!
Motivation
All of us have the ability to dream, we all have talents and amazing traits but how many allow themselves to step out and just 'go-for-it'! How many live safely because of:-
fear, guilt, blame, hatred, unbelief in themselves, people, the past.... this list can go on-and-on!
Too often we let 'life' become our motive for non-action and we use it for an excuse to compromise and let those wonderful dreams and talents stagnate and fade away...!
When you look back on your 'life' will it be with regret!
Yes... 'life' can and does dictate and hold us in its throes - forever if we let it but only for a short time if we do not! So, step out of 'life' and do not let it shape, mold and form you any longer, get motivated, cultivate your power of vision and shape your own life and... become who you were born to be!
Direction
Let your power of vision give you direction and in turn, the purpose to start out on your path (and not wander about aimlessly) but keep to it! Cultivate your 'life' as you would with your garden - rid yourself of weeds (negativity - fears, the past, etc.,) and let your inner flowers (positivity - your character, talents, self-belief, etc.,) grow and blossom!
Let your vision lead you in your right direction, let it feed your purpose and give you the power to 'make' things happen!
You are important...
You are unique and...
Your life matters so CHOOSE to shape, mold and form your own 'life' now!
-------------------------------------
Just as living hands shaped, molded and formed 'life' into a seemingly useless lump of marble you too,
just like this lump of marble are shaped, molded and formed by 'life'!
You can let the master, 'life' itself,
shape and mold you into the form that it wants or you can choose to take a form of your own!
Do not let 'life' form you into something that you are not...
Do not let 'life' have the power to keep in a unwanted state!
You have the power of vision contained within...
all you need to do is open your eyes, believe it is so and you will see how your life can be changed into a thing of love and beauty!
--------------------------------
Do you want to change your life? Do you want to step out and claim it now?
If so, take a journey with me to find your amazing authentic self...
