To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it.[su_spacer]
– Kurt Vonnegut[su_spacer]
Do you remember when you were little and you felt free to experiment? When you didn’t comprehend failure? How you lived in the moment, and it was enough to just be? Before you were made to conform and color inside the lines? Can you remember when you could see things that other people didn’t see?[su_spacer]
No one ever discovered anything new by coloring inside the lines.[su_spacer]
– Thomas Vasquez[su_spacer]
At some point we grow up and become adults. Then we spend time remembering how as children we didn’t worry about everything. It is so funny how we spend our entire childhood wanting to be adults. Then as adults we miss the freedoms of childhood. What rules we had as children were so simple. When we were young we used our imagination to be creative, instead of worrying about a million things that will never happen.[su_spacer]
To experience peace does not mean that your life is always blissful. It means that you are capable of tapping into a blissful state of mind, amidst the normal chaos of a hectic life.[su_spacer]

These two boys are in a state of bliss. Chaos will appear when mom finds them – lol. I can remember scrubbing my own children trying to get the markers off their faces and telling them over and over, you only draw on paper. I remember telling them to color within the lines. I remember creating all of these rules to keep them contained. Because I thought that would keep them safe.[su_spacer]
You were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose, and to do it courageously.
– Dr. Steve Maraboli[su_spacer]
We can’t be that courageous self that lives our life purpose if we are coloring inside the lines. We need to live our life from the inside out, listening to the soft voice of intuition. To own who we are with no regrets or apologies. Coming from authenticity allows our inner wisdom to shine out and set us free from conforming to the rules. It hands us the courage to erase the lines, and let the colors spill out off the page. When we color outside the lines we give ourselves permission to make a bigger picture – a much bigger picture. When we make the picture bigger, we can even use the whole box of crayons – all of the colors, not just the primary ones.[su_spacer]
Her life improved dramatically, when she decided to break the rules and find beauty where she’d been told there was none.
– Ashlin Nawel Habes[su_spacer]
So break the rules that says the grass must be green, and the sky blue with a yellow sun and white clouds. Go outside the lines and color something that has never been seen before. Find beauty where they said there was none, outside the lines. Live out loud in the possibilities. Imagine a world where you can be weird and strange and everyone loves it. Make your life a masterpiece.[su_spacer]
Color outside the lines. Let yourself daydream. Agree with your imagination, and laugh at all the rules.[su_spacer]
