Wise Words: Paint your Reality

Source

I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to,

and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.

-Frida Kahlo

Wise Words: The Illusion of Security

“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”

Helen Keller

Wise Words: How to be Original

Source

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original:

whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before)

you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.

C.S Lewis

Wise Words: Believe in Magic

And above all, watch with glittering eyes the world around you

because the greatest secrets are always hidden

in the most unlikely places.

Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.

-Roald Dahl

Wise Words: Believe in Yourself

Source

If just one person believes in you

Deep enough and strong enough

Believes on you hard enough and long enough

Before you knew it, someone else would think

“If he can do it, I can do it”

Making it two. Two whole people who believe

in you.

And maybe even you can believe in you too.

-The Muppets

Wise Words: Receiving Ideas

Source

I don’t know exactly where ideas from, but when I’m working well ideas just appear. I’ve heard other people say similar things-so it’s one of the ways I know there’s help and guidance out there. It’s just a matter of our figuring out how to receive the ideas or information that are waiting to be heard.

-Jim Henson

It  is not because things are difficult that we do not dare;

it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.”

-Seneca

Wise Words: Georgia O’Keefe

 I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for.

Wise Words: Life is Art

I think everything in life is art.  What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dream.  The way you drink. How you decorate your room, your home. The way you manage your daily activity. The food you make, the food you eat. How your writing look. And The way you feel.

Life is Art.

-Unknown
