If one approaches life as an artist, considering all life experiences to be the tools one has been given with which to weave a perfect masterpiece, then life can be fun and creative, instead of a chore and a struggle. A soul worker is constantly striving for improvement and personal development. An artist combines a variety of elements to produce the most perfect outcome.
Take for example the florist; he arranges a variety of flowers to create an exquisite bouquet. The chef combines an assortment of ingredients to create the most sumptuous and Palatable feast. And the tailor takes fabrics of various colours and textures, cuts them and sews them into one piece again! Just as plastic surgeons take a scalpel to flesh and remodel it to create a more desirable result, why can’t we become makers of our destiny and create the life we desire or aspire to?
The greatest work of art has to be our ability to patch up the pieces of our broken hearts and make them whole again. Someone earlier may have cracked that heart, others walked off with pieces of it, and I lost some of those pieces along the way to people and places. For this I have to forgive, forget, let go, and continue bridging, building and forging relationships despite many hurts felt along the way.
Soul work is an art; it’s a way to become whole again. It is only when we look inside using introversion or our ‘intro-vision’, that we are able to re-evaluate the activities of the soul. We are then able to find other ways to view situations and to respond to them outside the patterns that we have built up that are more common to us. Working on any piece of art takes patience and perseverance. And one may revisit it several times before one is happy with the final result.
