Creating Recovery

When the artist is alive in any person, whatever his kind of work may be, he becomes an inventive, searching, daring, self-expressive creature.

~Robert Henri

Get out your brushes. It’s time for a walk on the wild side.

Think of yourself as an artist, and your life as a masterpiece in progress. Each day you add to it, bringing the life you dream of into view. Today it needs a bold stroke of color, something to catch your eye and draw you into the picture. You are, after all, the key subject in your painting. And you are vibrant. Passionate. Alive!

So, risk a little color. Push your personal boundaries a smidge and dare one thing that will make your vision of the future a reality.

Do it today.

Put worry away and reach for what you want. Make that call. Write that note. Go where you must to express, in some way, the thing that burns deep inside. If things don’t turn out quite as you’d like, remind yourself that it’s not a permanent move, just a walk on the wild side.

I am bold, passionate, alive! Today I’m pulling color from my wild side and adding it to my masterpiece. It would not be true, not quite me, without it.
