Your life is a canvas.
It is a major piece of artwork.
Not everyone will love what you create. Some people will stare at it and think it looks ugly. Others will be the most beautiful body of work in the world.
What matters is that you're happy with the end result, while still—as many an artist will attest to feeling—know there is always a way to make it better.
The point is that you're always striving. Always looking to make the mistakes an unintentionally amazing part of the canvas. Always drawing in the colors you love and creating beautiful contours and texture to the canvas you create.
Make a mess. Make it your own. Color every inch of space, or keep it super simple.
Design the life you want—it is truly a work of art.
You must. Because without art, the earth is just “eh.”
