Life is an art; The art of doing everything with love, the art of seeing the beauty around you and in yourself, the art of working, being generous with your effort and time, the art of giving with love, by working with dedication and mastery, the art of feeling that you are creating when you work, the art of finding within you that euphoria, that hope, that inspiration, while you are enjoying creativity as if you were taking a child to play.

Life is the art of living with a soul that appreciates beauty, spreads goodness, is happy with charity, lives through others, being delighted to make them happy, and finds your humanity while you share their grief with them.

It is the art of being selfless transcending your inpiduality and your passions to understand reality and fate as it is, and to see the aspects of goodness and the truth even in the motives and fears of your enemies, so you feel an implicit responsibility to care and you see that you also are not free from error.

Life is the art of bearing life pressures and tensions keeping yourself pure, your spontaneity alive, your enthusiastic spirit, your ambitious motivation, and your constant glad mood, while you are in line with the facts of life, planning for the future, and using intuition in what makes you aware and innovate.

It is the art of seeing the human side in everyone, building on what is common, and connecting to the soul in beings, to sympathize and give.

Life is the art of living your dreams until they are fulfilled, feeling that the continuous effort to achieve them is what makes the journey of life happy and that giving up on attachment makes success a natural consequence, so you succeeded in advance when you trusted that good is coming, that things do not happen in vain, and that you have the ingredients that make you adapt and find solutions on time so that you find the motivation to reform yourself and to find the strength to be compatible with life, with acceptance or change.

You learn from pain, to find clarity, wisdom, and intuition within you, to be a role model that inspires those who perceive, feel, and want, so that you see the temporary journey of life with its pains and hopes from afar, and you rise above the common instincts and motives of human beings, being fearless of death because the soul does not perish, and you are a soul that communicates and realizes, not just a body that perishes after strength, and turns up and down in the game of days.

If you feel yourself a soul, you can live with noble feelings, to create what minds cannot believe, to rise above imperfections and trivialities, to accomplish the mission of life, and you emerge from it stronger, purer, more mature, and happier.

Life is choices, it will not give you happiness unless you make it an echo of what is good within you, and unless you have struggled with learning, strengthened with hope, and lived with certainty; Life is choices, so choose to live it with art, give it your love, and fulfill it with dedication and creativity, until you leave it satisfied and reassured.
