RE: Day 102: 5 Minute Freewrite: Monday - Prompt: paint

in #freewrite6 years ago

Paint... Well I guess we're all painting really.. from one moment to the next... each walking around this life with paintbrushes in hand... each painting strokes and making our mark upon this land... We're painters. We each have the ability to paint any picture we choose... we each play this game that's impossible to lose... But it's not impossible to paint something that doesn't look so good. I think that we're all artists on the inside. It's just that many of us have covered that up and denied it and tried to pretend it's not true... We see others around us who's skills totally astound us and we then wander if we will ever be as good as them... so often this feeling of inferiority or 'not-enoughness' leads us to failing to even begin our journey to greatness and beyond. But we're still painting. We're just making a different masterpiece. Our lives are our masterpieces. We don't always remember that. I like to make sure I remember to be conscious about what I'm painting each day. What picture do I really wish to experience? What beautiful piece would I rather look back upon when my time is up and I'm ready to sit back and just enjoy the wonderful image I've spent so many years craftfully painting away at... It will contain the whole beauty of my life - My story, my family, my journey, my obstacles, trials, tribulations, successes, achievements ... everything... at the end of the day though it doesn't matter what your masterpiece looks like... if you don't like it, you will be able to paint another one... and another one..... and another.... you'll never have a final chance to paint something beautiful... you can always start a new and see what comes through next time.... so what view you happen to be presented with at the end of it all... knowing that you created it all.. you painted every stroke.... you were the sculptor that created it all. It was you.

Thanks for creating this @mariannewest and @improv!!! So grateful <3

I really like that take on painting your life - and to be able to start over. And so very true - so many never start being creative because we listened to those who told us that we are not enough...

Yeah it's a sad story that runs in the lives of many... part of my work is helping people to turn that round and realise they can create anything they want in life :)

That's what I came here to do!

Thanks for everything :) I really appreciate you reading and commenting <3

That is such important work!! Will be fun to watch what you are going to do.

haha yayyyy I have A LOT of tricks up my sleeve... just wanna make a few friends here before I start revealing them ^_^

Thank you <3
