Mona Lisa

Here is my story. When I was first placed in my painter’s studio, I was a clean block of wood. I didn’t know what he was doing with that brush over me. All I thought was he was messing up with me. He ruined my look. He made me dirty with those liquids swept all over me. Then for a while, he left me. Alone. I thought, “What is going on here?” I was frustrated, bored. But then he came back. Doing the same thing all over again.

But that was long time ago. Now, here I am. If only I knew who he was. What I can say today is how thankful I am. That I was lucky. I should not have been here. I was a block of wood. And I am still a block of wood. It was all because of the painter who painted me. He is a maestro.

Each year, about six million people view the painting at the Louvre. [wikipedia]

How do you see your Painter today? Do you think He is messing up with your life? The truth is He is doing His big project in you. He is painting your life. You may think this circumstance is pressing you so hard. Be patient and trust Him. For God’s love for you is so great. Just open your heart. Receive His love. Don’t think about how you would pay Him back later if you receive His love today. He does not demand you to pay Him back. Because nobody can.

Be patient. Trust Him. Let Him paint you. Maybe one day you will tell a similar story like the one that Mona Lisa has told you.

Imagine that you are sitting in a pilot’s seat. Yes, you are sitting in an airplane cockpit now. You will see this:

A bunch of instrumentations. Their existance in the cockpit is very important.

But here is a good news for you. Your feelings or emotions are similar to the flight istrumentations. They are not created and installed to make the pilot dizzy, but to help him to fly the airplane. And so are feelings. They are created to help people directing their lives toward their dreams.

Anthony Robbins in his book Awaken the Giant Within tells the messages which are carried by feelings. He also suggests some actions that could be taken as responses to them.  I wish I could write it here, but it is part of a protected copyright, so I wouldn’t.

I got this information for free. So I pass this information for free to you. But if you are interested to know more, you will want to get the book.

The Wise knows how to endure

She takes time for caring for her soul

So that her soul shall prosper in spirit

Good food gives her the strength of an eagle

When storm comes, she spreads her wings and flies high beyond the raging thunders

When she becomes weary, she rests on the green valley beside the river

When she becomes thirsty, she drinks freshing water from the flowing river

She picks the right food to keep her vision bright

No wonder why she has that strength to fly beyond the high mountains

She listens to her spirit

When it cries she knows she must stop to get some supplies

She never ignores the cries of her soul

For she knows if it dies, she dies

That’s why, even in her most adventurous journey

When her soul cries for a stop, she stops

She gets some food

And freshing water

Takes time to comfort her soul

And gains new strength

She cares for her soul
