In this month’s issue of Get a Life, I shared the story of Flagstaff, Arizona artist Louis Buchetto. Before he had the gumption to become an artist and open his own successful gallery, he wrote the following statement on a piece of paper that he put on the wall beside his bed:
I will create a unique form of art, share it with the world and become rich and famous.
He read this statement for 3 months straight, 6 or 7 times a day until he believed it to be true. And it worked!
Some of you may think this is a bunch of California woo woo stuff that only works if you are a New-Age hippie like me. Trust me, it isn’t. This really works. I am convinced it is how I have created a successful business and found a wonderful husband.
What is your vision for yourself?
Using the comment tool underneath this post, say it in clear, tangible terms. Speak from your heart – articulate what you really want. Sharing with others will exponentially increase its probability to come true.
I will create a feminine epi-center via internet that supports growth, encourages success, minimizes doubts, contains fears, explores love and feeds wealth.
I will create an art work space and gallery for “weekend art warriors” like myself (or anybody who has taken a non-traditional path into becoming an artist) that is affordable, approachable, fun, and rich with learning opportunities.
I will create a business that will help change the world for the better, be deeply satisfying and joyful to me, and bring me financial prosperity so that I can continue to help others.
I will create a form of business that helps those in need while allowing me to work for myself, love doing it and more than prosper.
What is your vision for yourself?
A friend sent this to me and it must be a sign because I am currently in the “Artist’s Way” class based on the book by Julia Cameron of the same name (which I highly recommend to anyone reading this blog) and we were supposed to name our true dream and it WAS HARD to do!
But I finally got in touch with want I REALLY wanted and this is it. So I am sending it out into the universe and we will see what happens.
I will create beautiful fiber art for people all over the world that helps them become their authentic selves. Through this I will become rich and famous and help animal welfare organizations with their missions.
Thank you for these stories. what great inspiration!
