“You are the artist in your life….”

…don’t give the paintbrush to anyone else.” - Iva Ursano

As a creative person who has felt afraid or stuck to create, I understand how holding onto that fear can mirror other parts of life, too. Looking back, I know sometimes I gave other people my paintbrush to paint my story. I held the limiting beliefs that I was less capable and worthy of putting my own colors and style onto my canvas. So I sometimes left it up to others, who I falsely believed had bigger, bolder colors, to paint on and over my canvas. The the truth was the artistry from others created a canvas that was lifeless, dull and not me. Only I know my colors, my artistry and my inner beauty and strength.

When you take your own paintbrush to your canvas, the magic happens. The colors are in harmony. The canvas sings. It can be a challenge to get past the stories that you aren’t worthy of creating the canvas you want. And when you take small steps to break down those stories, you can start to see your beautiful canvas fill with color and life.
