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.
