Is there a simpler way to describe life better than a work of art?
I asked myself this question and had to think deeply about it.
It would be fair to compare our lives to a canvas at a time—the moment we were born into the world with nothing. No experience or memories at all, everything we had was a blank slate waiting to be transformed into a masterpiece, and as we journeyed through life with our experiences serving as brush strokes, we started painting.
Every experience, decision, memory, mistake, and lesson learned adds a stroke to our canvas that gradually defines who and what we are at this stage of our lives. These strokes are a reflection of who we are, and regardless of what we think, we are just a masterpiece in the making because, as long as we have life, we will keep adding brushstrokes on our canvas.
I have been privileged to see artist's at work several times, and it's always a beautiful thing to watch, but one thing I noticed is how their brushstrokes don't make sense from the beginning. During my first experience, I asked what exactly the artist was painting because I didn't have a clue, and he just smiled. Some minutes later, he showed me a serene environment blessed with nature and said, "This is one of my works, and I am doing a replica with some adjustments."
Reflecting on those experiences while writing this post opened my mind to some things I had failed to understand before now. For the very first time, I thought about the fact that every brush stroke adds up to the masterpiece you are transforming your canvas into. Whether it's the good or bad times, those experiences serving as brushstrokes definitely have a spectacular impact on your canvas.
My life journey is a perfect testament to what I mentioned earlier because everything on my canvas today is from both sweet and bitter strokes, but somehow it still looks quite beautiful to me. A lot of people might not see the beauty yet, and that's because you didn't see my brush strokes from the beginning and don't even have a clue of what I am painting, just like I couldn't tell what the artist was painting until he explained to me.
I now understand clearly that my canvas really don't have to make sense to other people but as long as I have a picture of what I am painting in mind, I can keep adding those brush strokes until my masterpiece is completed. A lot of people won't see the beauty on your canvas until you are done, and regardless of what we go through in life, it adds up to that masterpiece we are creating, and that typically explains why life is indeed a work of art.
In conclusion, embracing whatever it is our journey looks like allows us to create something classic, beautiful, and unique work of art that reflects our struggles, victories, growth, and every other thing we experience during the journey.
Always remember that until an artist's final stroke, it's hard to tell what he or she is creating, and that's the same thing for us as individuals; the whole brushstroke might not make any sense until that final touch, so we just have to keep going, understanding quite well that we are a work in progress.
Someday, we will relax to see our art and be proud of journeying through the world with a resilience and creative mindset. Imagine your work of art becoming an inspiration for a whole lot of people; it would be great, right? So just keep painting.
For this months LPUD, I powered up 60 $LEO and even though I haven't been consistent on power up days, I keep growing my stakes with or without LPUD.

I really hope to stay consistent but wouldn't want to talk much about it. I have the total of 964 $Leo token at the moment and with my random staking, I should hit 1k Leo is a bit.
Thanks for reading.
