The mind is the only place where you can examine a germinal,
fragile new idea, stretch it without breaking it or explore an explosive new
idea without having it blow up your face. Use thinking tools and imaging to
analyse, reinvent and recreate life as it is today.
You are a powerhouse of potential. The great Michelangelo
was once asked how he created great statues. Old and half blind, Michelangelo
stood before a block of marble, scarred and muddy from the quarries of Carrara.
He said quietly, ‘I have never created a statue. I just stand before a block of
marble and study it with reverence. For I, know that within every block of
marble, there lies a statue, waiting to be liberated by the touch of the
Master’s hand.’
Within each one of us lies hidden masterpiece waiting to be
liberated by the magic touch of attention. Only you can do it. Be your own
‘expert’. Do not build negative ideas about yourself through the comments of
others. Your self-talk should be calm, happy and elevating. Choose to see and hear
what is beautiful and encouraging. When you are wounded, learn to soothe
yourself by using these affirmations.
