You Are the Art, and the Artist.

I often say in my coaching that you are both the art, and the artist and I wanted to take a moment to break down the origins behind this philosophy and why I believe this so strongly.

I used to spend hours wandering around art museums. I’ve always loved the spaciousness and expansiveness of an art museum. Every piece of art confidently occupying its own little place in the world. Proudly presenting the finished product of what was first only a figment of someone’s imagination. Only a thought that became an emotion and moved outwardly through their hands until it lit up those walls.

The fascinating thing about a work of art though is that everyone sees it differently. No two people see the same work of art the same. 

You see what you want to see. You feel what you need to feel. And you understand what you came to understand. Everything that’s happened in your life leading up to that very moment when you’re standing in the presence of that art has created your perception of it.

We are all like that too. You, as the artist of your life, know your story. You’re creating it everyday. Moving it from a thought to an emotion then outwardly through the body and into this world.

But you are also the art. Everyone you encounter in this lifetime, from a passerby on the street, to the barista at a coffee shop, to your coworker, to your best friend, your siblings, your parents, and your partner; they all carry a different version of you in their minds.

There are a thousand different versions of you out there, floating around.

But the only version you can control, is the one you create. As the artist. So like a true artist, continue to create the version of yourself that you’ve imagined. Those who feel compelled to stop, study, know, and understand your work will always stay.

And whether it’s for a moment or a lifetime you’ll have shared a piece of yourself with them, forever occupying a little place in their world.

Lots of love,

Nicole
