You Are a Work of Art

A work of art doesn’t have to be a poem, a painting, a book, or a building you can see. Think instead about shaping your own life into a masterpiece. You already have yourself, and you have time—though no one knows how much. Use your abilities to create the future version of you, then take an honest look at who you’ve become, and let that reflection bring you genuine pride.
Your life itself is art.
Inside your sorrow, there is a painting.
Within your pain, there are poems and songs.
Where your time lingers, future art is born.
Where your love and gaze rest, a sculpture more beautiful than Venus takes shape.
And your warm smile—
that alone is art.
