Imagine living a life where you wake up in the morning and you can’t wait to get out of bed to start working on a project that fills you with joy and excitement.


Imagine that your home expresses exactly who you are…every inch of it.


Imagine that you have enough time, space and energy to create loving relationships, beautiful moments, and meaningful products.


Imagine living a life where you achieve everything you think you can.


Wow! Imagine it!


The beauty is that you can, so today, let’s decide that you will always be moving toward this amazing and dare I say it, fulfilling life!


But how do you do that? How does one create the most exceptional life imaginable?


How about you start with one question.


Have you ever imagined how grand, how exciting, how extraordinary your life can be?


Well, let’s do it now!


Let’s figure out YOUR EXCEPTIONAL LIFE!

So, now that you have taken a look at what your exceptional life could be, how do you ensure that you can achieve it?


Well, you follow the same rules of becoming an ARTIST!


You accept the challenge of the life you want to create.

You define the rules of the life you want to create.

You master the crafts of the life you want to create.

You infuse yourself into the life you want to create.

You elevate yourself toward fulfillment of the life you know you can live!


*The key to a fulfilling life is the word "full." Is your life filled with the best things you can create in life?


Wow! I'm going to let that sink in.


I love that!

Now, of all of the answers you have given, which one could you start working toward achieving today?


Go ahead. Pick just one

.

Because when you do you are putting yourself on the path toward living a fulfilling life.


That’s pretty amazing when you think about it! You have found the path.


That’s a big deal!


People spend their entire lives looking for this path but never find it.


To know that you can reflect on your life and say, "Well, I've left nothing in the reserve tank, I have left it all on the table. I have lived a fulfilling life."


THAT is a big deal!

Now remember, you may never achieve ALL those amazing things on your list, but you can certainly work towards them and still live an exceptional life!


And if for no other reason by doing so, you not only enrich your own life, but everyone around you.


It is your choice.


It‘s your life.


You can create it.


You Are An ARTIST

I see it.


Have an exceptional 2019!


With great love,

Annie
