Living out loud – dismantling the blocks in your way!

We all want better lives. We want to be able to think clearer, act more appropriately, feel better, and see more abundance in our lives.

I have been wondering which analogy to use to illustrate the awesome power that we have in the creation of our lives, every waking and sleeping moment that we are alive in these bodies on this wonderful planet. And I think the analogy of us as painters, artists, is the most apt and useful one for us to use here.

See yourself standing in front of a blank canvas, brush in hand. The easel is at the right height, the room has enough light, and you are ready to go.

Your thoughts go to colour. Which colours do you use? And this is where the analogy is the most striking – the colours you use will affect your WHOLE CANVAS, the whole painting. It will turn it into a mudpool of depressing colours, slapped on any old how, something you would rather not have on your walls, a painting that drags your spirit down and of course the drab colours will affect the WHOLE PAINTING.

In this way, imagine what happens when you choose your colours with care, reflecting carefully about what you want to portray, consciously creating a picture that will reflect who you really are, that will reflect joy and YOU in all your myriad facets!

In exactly this way, the vibrational level that you occupy most of the time is equal to the colours you choose, and the canvas represents your life, the one you live every single day, and of course also your development and expansion as creative being. AND it will affect every single object or person that you include in your painting – and so, in this way, everything and everyone around you is affected by your vibrational level. People appear happier, life is easier, things just happen beautifully. Imagine what we can do to change the world in this personal way! When we understand that this is in our power to do, that we can touch the lives of others simply by being our best selves, then we understand also that nagging others to change themselves so we can be happy is not necessary at all. All we need to do it to change ourselves, choose our colours with care, and do our best painting. No one is expecting a masterpiece – in fact, everything that we do, everything that we give our attention to (even the drab paintings) are creations of ours that allow us to shine (or not) on others.

Let us live out loud, firstly simply because we are here, and then, because we can.

  This is such a great way to look at the way we are creating our lives. Thank you so much for sharing this insight, and for helping me live out loud. Your inspirations are so appreciated and help me to develop myself as well as helping me be able to share this with others who are where I once was-
