Our life is not measured by the things that we amass. It is not measured by the achievements that we have gained. It is not measured by the life span that we live. Life is measured by the deeds of good that we do along the way to achieving our dreams and desires. It is not the destination that will give us growth but rather the journey that brings us a strength of will... a resolve to move on no matter what the appearances outside of ourselves may be. We can choose the object of our desire. We can create a mental equivalent of having that desire. But the most important part of our choosing is to not restrict the source, size, shape, or amount of our desire. We are limitless people. We are the co-creators of our dreams and desires and most of all we are people who do not limit their good. We know the dream... we see the dream... we live the dream... we become the dream... and finally we are the dream. All of this is an inside job for we live our lives from the inside out. We are not influenced by the events in our life experience. Instead, we influence the events in our life experience. Yes, we have that much power. It is the power of the Greater Self within each of us that gains its fuel from our faith. It is that power which moves us to take action so that we may bring form to our dreams. And there is just one little thing that is asked of us and that is to have faith (Form Accepted In The Heart). For when we have faith in that intangible dream, we shall know... we shall feel it... we shall sense its presence when it is about to make itself known. So today... just for today... be that which you dream yourself to be and dare to take the journey to your desires and dreams. It is a journey that you will not regret having had. Our thought for today is: 'Oh, this game of life... is it the luck of the draw or do I really have control? What a wonderful choice I make today.' Gayle O May the rainbows you dream today, be the bridges of your tomorrow into ever lasting joy. © Gayle O Created with Apophysis 3D Hack 2.08. Post work was done in PSP7. Within each of us there is a passionate dream. What that dream is for us is as unique to each of us as fingerprints on a hand. How could I express that passionate dream? I would have to express it within my art. I would infuse each piece with a part of my artist's soul. I would let the forms in my art pieces become fluid and flow gently all about. I would move through colors of light whatever their shades might be. In this case I chose to use pastels. The center of my passion would be created with shades of rose moving to darker reds. It would express the igniting of my passion with a sparkle. Oh, how wonderful it is to be as fluid as the colors of our art.
