Updated: Mar 22, 2023

Hey! Welcome back! So happy to have you here!

So far, you’ve done an amazing job! You have applied the first three steps that will lead you toward creating an ARTISTIC life; a life filled with happiness, success, and fulfillment!


1 – You Accepted the Challenge!

2 – You Defined the Rules!

3 – You Mastered your craft!


Wow! Great job!


Because of all the hard work, you have now opened the door to fulfillment. You have finally reached that magical place where you stop battling life and yourself and you just start living!


Yay!!!


Okay, and then last week I introduced Step 4: Elevate Your Skill.


It was a lovely piece! It made me so happy to write it and to be able to share it with you, but I have to tell you something. I have to apologize in advance.

I skipped a step!


Holy Smokes!

Sorry about that!


Before you can elevate your skill you need one very specific thing!


Any idea what it is?


Yep!


It’s You!


Let’s think about it. Once you master your craft, the window opens and the magic appears. But in order to tap into the magic to elevate your skill you have to find the source of it. Where do you think that is?


Exactly!


It’s you!


Step 4 is... Infuse You!

All along I’ve been reminding you of how special you are. There is no one else in the world like you. No one sees the world exactly the way you do.


This is what makes you unique; your perspective.


To break it down further, perspective, quite simply is a place from which to view. Your perspective means it comes from where you are standing. No one can stand where you are because well, you are standing there! It’s absolutely fantastic, really. You are the only person in the entire world who sees the world only as you do. You are one of a kind.


You are the magic ingredient to happiness, success, and fulfillment.


You have addressed the confusions, the problems, the mysteries, etc. and you have allowed yourself to persevere. You have cleared a path to “just be me.”


It’s quite a lovely place.

It’s where you can easily see and feel everything that is right about you.


The true you. The you that creates new ideas and solutions.


Do you see it? This is where your skill elevates and you can create that happy, successful and fulfilling life! It is where what is special about you, in your heart and in your beingness, can now be added, like magic dust, to the world to help make it just a little bit better!


This is where your ARTISTRY begins.


: )


You are an ARTIST. I see it.



With Great Love,

Annie

Tis a foolish thing to forget to view from one's own viewpoint, but I do it all the time. It's too easy to do. Thanks for the reboot!!! Being the being that is being is best!
