Painting and Life
A good painter
understands the size of the canvas, has a clear mental image of what she wants
to create, knows the appropriate brush sizes, and selects the right colors.
However, simply having the tools does not make her the best painter; she also
needs skills, knowledge, imagination, and, above all, patience. With all these
elements in place, the result can be a masterpiece.
Now, let’s relate our
lives to painting. We are the painters of our own lives, and our goals
represent the images we want to achieve. We should remember that while we are
eternal in spirit, our life span—the canvas we are given—is limited. It is up
to us to decide how to make the best use of our time.
Just as a painter
develops her competencies, we must also cultivate the skills necessary to
achieve our goals. We should replace unwanted worries and fears with positive
imagination and cultivate the patience needed to reap the rewards of our hard
work.
By carefully applying
the qualities of an effective painter, we can create our own masterpiece.
