IF YOU WANT SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T HAVE YOU MUST DO SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE NEVER DONE!  GO BACK TO THE B  IS FOR BETTER.  SUPERIOR QUALITY OR EXCELLENCE. A IS FOR ABLE.  HAVING NECESSARY POWER, SKILL, RESOURCES, OR QUALIFICATIONS S IS FOR SUPERIOR.  ABOVE THE AVERAGE IN EXCELLENCE. I IS FOR INTEGRITY.  ADHERENCE TO MORAL AND ETHICAL  PRINCIPLES. C IS FOR CORRECT.  TO REMOVE THE ERRORS AND FAULTS.  TO MAKE RIGHT. S IS FOR SUCCES.  THE FAVORABLE OR PROSPEROUS TERMINATION OF ATTEMPTS OR ENDEAVORS. Like an artist at his easel slowly filling the blank canvas with soft pastels and different shades, to create a beautiful picture, I am filling these empty pages with these small groups of words to create a powerful, motivating message to everyone who reads it.  The artist uses the following tools, paint, oils, chalk, and a paintbrush, etc. to create his portrait.  He uses his thoughts, feelings, and experiences, to bring the picture to life, so that you can see the picture.  I use the following tools to write a pen and a piece of paper.  I use my thoughts, feelings, and experiences to create a picture that you can see as you read along. Close your eyes and think about your life, where you are today and where you would like to be tomorrow.  Think about your dreams, your vision!  Think about your accomplishments.  Look at your failures, for just a moment and find something positive out of them. See growth and opportunity and take them by the hand.  Slowly reach for the failures, take a deep breath, and hold it. Now slowly breathe, as you let go of the failures. Open your eyes and see the empty canvas, the blank piece of paper.  See your tools. See your blessings, your strengths, your gifts, your abilities, and your dreams and like the butterfly slowly emerging from his cocoon, you too will emerge from your shell, your comfort zone, and like the butterfly, you will fly high in the sky!  The picture that the artist drew may be exactly what you want, but you can't have it because belongs to the artist, he created it.  The picture that you saw as you read along, take it with you for it is my gift to you.  Let it motivate and encourage you to take one day at a time and slowly watch your dreams unfold!  If you should happen to stumble or fall, GO BACK TO THE BASICS!  I believe that you can fly and every time that I see a butterfly, I will be thinking of you!
