I have just been reading some interesting quotes here in the sunny northern country air and they will be a welcome change from my previous blog on my views as woman as truly being art.
Dennis Waitley's Grandmother who had no formal education said this to him.....
"SUCCESS IS THE PROGRESSIVE REALIZATION OF A WORTHY IDEAL"
He then expanded into this....
"TOTAL SUCCESS IS THE CONTINUING INVOLVEMENT IN THE PURSUIT OF A WORTHY IDEAL, WHICH IS BEING REALIZED FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS--RATHER THAN AT THEIR EXPENSE"
Both of these quotes interest me, and hopefully resonate with somebody else.
One other story today.
Everybody told RENOIR to give up painting, because he had no talent.
A group of artists who were rejected by the establishment of their time formed their own little group consisting of Degas, Pissaro, Monet, Cezanne and Renoir.
Five masters doing what they believed in while others laughed.
Later in in Renoir's life he had advanced rheumatism, particularly in his hands. When Matisse stopped by to see the aging painter, he noticed that every brush stroke was causing Renoir great pain.
"Why is it that you still have to work?" He asked Renoir.
The answer................
"The pain passes, but the pleasure, the creation of beauty, remains."
That's the inspiration that I received from the light today.
