Nice framing of some inspiring words. Our life is an infinite canvas upon which we can work the paint into a dazzling array of experiences.
The idea of your life as a masterpiece reminds me of the book 'The Path of Least Resistance' by composer Robert Fritz. He describes the value of tension, in music for example, and the desire for tension to resolve itself. He advocates the deliberate cultivation of a 'creative tension' in our lives by holding a vivid vision of where a work of art wants to go, so that the disparity between what we aspire for and where we are now creates an irresistible creative tension that is compelled to resolve itself. This applies to life and self-mastery just as well as art.
Incredible piece of writing my friend. Deeply resonated and felt called out. I feel the strong desire to optimize the hell out of my life. It's that balance between seriousness and strategy with play and art. An opponent process worth sitting with. Thank you for your writing.
