All systems are go! Everything has been arranged. But I will tell you now, you only have 6 hours to do the job and do it right. This mission is yours, it has been chosen especially for you. I can get you back to the right time and place and then return you home again, but only you can do what must be done. Good luck, my friend, I know you will succeed. For at this task you are the only master.
None of us is offered every perfect element to create a perfect life. Yet, we do create the most perfect version of ourselves we can with the opportunities, experiences and tools available to each of us.

Somewhere in you is an artist. Somewhere in your life is an artist that you can appreciate and support.
What is always important is that we take the opportunity to express the artist within and to understand and support the artists in our lives. And when we make the choice to criticize we need to be honest enough with ourselves to understand from where the criticism arises.
For the art that is created is an expression of the interior landscape of the person who created the art and there is no criticism of that expression that does not become a criticism of the human being.
Resources to find your inner artist:
Below are a few of links that we think are helpful if you are thinking about exploring your creative side. If you know of other good resources let us know and we’ll post those links here as well.
Click to visit Burridge Studios Website
Paint something:
Bob Burridge is an internationally acclaimed artist who teaches art in a way that allows you to look at your own work and develop along the lines you choose for yourself. And as he says: “It is stress-free, but be warned: you could wind up with too much enthusiasm for painting.” Bob’s workshop schedule includes classes all over the US. And his initial “Loosen Up” workshop is a great way to find your creative side no matter what medium you want to work in.
Find your inner troubador:
Although this is not a link to lessons, it’s a link to song from one of my absolute favorite musicians, David Wilcox about the song that won’t shut up until he gets it out of his head. So if a song is really struggling to get out of your head, find a local guitar teacher and find your inner troubador! Then post your cover on David’s page! And remember that the right teacher for you will make you feel very good about yourself!

“We always get exactly what we want. However, we are not aware of most of what we want. To make matters even more challenging, most of us are not even aware that we are unaware of wanting all kinds of things we aren’t conscious of. That is why there is so much disparity between what we think we want and what we actually get…”
As Go Daddy founder Bob Parsons says in his Rules For Success, “We’re not here for a long time. We’re here for a good time!” There’s no place in your world that you go where you intend to spend eternity. Not even …here.

When you close your eyes, what do you see?
I’m not asking you about the times when you’re laying down on the sojourn to sleep.
I’m asking you a simpler, more complex, question. What happens when you purposely close your eyes with no intention but to see what’s inside your “vision” when your eyes are closed and you begin to wander?
I mean this not as trickery. I assure you.
Moreover, it can only be a question whose final answer belongs only to you.
However, I would quickly wager you that the answers you would give me would be completely different from my own. Additionally, carry that bet further, I’d put more down and assert further they’d be different still from the person shopping next to you at the market, standing ahead of you in line at the bank or sitting beside you in the doctor’s office waiting room.
You see, our inner world, or our internal construct, belongs to us.
As we close our eyes, we begin a journey inside.
This is where our silence and, yes, our noise within ourselves all begins.
Here we start to be alone with ourselves in a way unique to each of us.
We close our eyes and begin sensing the trail of our onliness.
Therefore, these next questions have not a thing to do with whether or not your individual eyes can see an ocean’s blue or the sun set or a seagull fly. They have nothing to do with the mechanics of the eye.
With that caveat, I ask you:
Are you seeing or unseeing?
Are you unsighted or insightful?
Do you envision or are you a visionary?
You see now what I mean; these questions do not have anything to do with our eyes. They are about our hopes, our minds and our hearts.
So I think, no, I believe, that You see a whole lot when You close Your eyes.
You see possibilities.
Now look closer.
You are the possibilities You see.
And if You look closer still, well,
You are the possibilities You seek.
