Mind Palette

Artist's Choice

By Colleen WaltersPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Your life is your own

Do not give them the paintbrush

Paint your own canvas.

+++

How will you paint you? Will you use broad strokes and be a lazy river that people float upon on a quiet day, and feel the closeness of nature?

Or will you use fine strokes and be beautiful delicate flowers, beckoning a butterfly or a hummingbird as you soak up the world around you?

Will you be an autumn afternoon where the leaves turn lovely colors and people take the long way home just because you bring them joy?

Or will you wish to be a spectacular sunset over the water that draws people from far and wide to capture your magnificence and faithfulness?

Or will you just be you, a beautifully crafted and designed masterpiece. A unique, perfectly imperfect adored creation, the only one like you? An amazing human being, so full of compassion and stunning emotion, a work of art that cannot be duplicated, the most expensive original in history. The painting of you is enough, because you are enough. Never doubt you.
