Are you the person you imagined yourself to be?

Or are you in conflict with your self?

If you are easily influenced by other people or experiences ... if you shy away from your own voice ... if you're afraid to live your talk because of what people think ...

Then it's likely that you're not the person you wish to be.

When you take on board other people's perceptions and judgements without any reservation or consideration for your own thoughts and feelings, you end up becoming a caricature rather than your true self.

Worse still ... if you jump and react to everyone else's tune at the expense of your own, you then become a puppet, with your strings securely under someone else's control.

Don't be afraid to be yourself.

You're absolutely perfect as you are but you have what it takes to create the amazing individual you have always wanted to be ... your true and beautiful self.

Each of us is an artist, creating our unique stamp upon the great canvas that is life.

Gandhi once said: "Every moment of your life is infinitely creative and the universe is endlessly bountiful. Just put forth a clear enough request, and everything your heart desires must come to you."

There's nothing you can ever do wrong, ever.

There are no wrong brush-strokes. 

You are -already - simply a work of art ... but a work of art in progress.

You can add a little more colour or tone to your life ...

You can choose how you wish to appear in any given scene ...

But you know that the true-you presents the most beautiful picture of all.

So simply be YOU moment-by-moment.
