Three Minute Leadership: The Great Leader as Artist
To: The Great Leaders Who Have a Passion for Continuous Learning
Stroke by stroke the artist creates her work. Each precise movement of the brush on the canvass is part of a grander design. Images, colors, intensity and shadows bring depth and meaning to the magnificent portrait -another treasure added to the magnificent mosaic the artist creates as she joys in her life’s purpose. This work completed, the artist begins her search for her next brush stroke, perhaps the one that will be her life’s masterpiece.
The artist’s journey is a beautiful metaphor of the great leaders’ own journeys. Each word, action, thought, decision and behavior is another brush stroke to their life’s work and purpose. Wilferd Peterson powerfully describes these strokes: “There are the bold, sweeping strokes of one increasing, dynamic purpose. There are the lights and shadows that make your life deep and strong. There are the little touches that add the stamp of character and worth.” Each day, fill your canvas with the glorious strokes creating your own awesome masterpiece, strokes filled with fire, passion and beauty that say to the world: “I live every day of my life to its fullest.” You are the artist of your life. Make it a work of art! Life is so very good.
Have a beautiful day and a magnificent week!!!
