LIFE IS BUT AND EMPTY CANVAS; PURE, INNOCENT & CAPABLE OF BECOMING ANYTHING. WITH HARD WORK & PASSION IT COULD BE THE WORLDS NEWEST MASTERPIECE. HOWEVER, JUST AS POSSIBLE, IT COULD BECOME TOMORROW'S TRASH. ALTHOUGH IT BELONGS TO US; WHEN WE ALLOW OTHERS TO CONFORM US, THEY TOO MAY LEAVE THEIR MARKS ON OUR SACRED PAINTING. A GLORIOUS SUN OR DARK FLAMES, TO THE ABSTRACT & ILLEGIBLE. DON'T BE TOO QUICK TO HAND YOUR BRUSH OVER TO OTHERS, UNTIL YOU'VE SEEN THEIR OWN CANVAS & CHARACTER, TRUELY. DON'T PAINT IN HASTE OR COPY ANOTHER'S DRAWING, NO MATTER ITS QUALITY. FOR YOUR LIFE IS PAINTED IN MOMENTS OF PASSION & CONVICTION, NOT THOSE OF REASON. BE NOT AFRAID IF UPON STEPPING BACK YOU FIND MISTAKES OR DISPLEASURE IN YOUR WORK. FOR AFTER IT DRIES YOU MAY ALWAYS CORRECT IT. AND THOSE MISTAKES WILL BE NOT YOU, NOR OF YOUR CHARACTER, YET; A MEMORY OF WHAT ONCE WAS. OTHERS CAN TRY TO TEAR YOU DOWN, BUT UNABLE TO TOUCH YOUR CANVAS, ARE THEY, WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT. BE STRONG. BE BOLD. BE LEGENDARY. BE UNIQUE. AND YOUR PIECE WILL FIND ITS WAY INTO HISTORY.
