"MIRACLES START TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU GIVE AS MUCH ENERGY TO YOUR DREAMS AS YOU DO TO YOUR FEARS."

This artwork of mine is an abstract. I generally get inspire by nature and things around me and try to depict the hardships/sorrows and happiness of life through a combination of color, texture and patterns.

I have done this painting to motivate people and to explain that in our life there are phases - dark and bright, sad and happy. The essential nature of being alive and being human is to experience life in its purest form - the win and losses, celebrations and challenges, and the good with the bad.

"LIFE IS IRONIC. IT TAKES SADNESS TO KNOW WHAT HAPPINESS IS, NOISE TO APPRECIATE SILENCE AND ABSENCE TO VALUE PRESENCE."
- DAVID AVOCADO WOLFE

Some of these experiences are not favourable. We might be in pain physically or emotionally - we hurt. Often we feel betrayed by life itself, we feel it is unfair and question why we have to go through these struggles. We surround ourselves with negativity. When we come face to face with a struggle, a low point in life, be it an illness, a relationship breakdown or financial ruin, at the time we are lost in darkness. We feel darkness all around us and no light shinning through. We lose all hope.

But we should not forget that darkness has always a light behind it which will destroy it some time. When every door closes, there is always one door opened for us.

WINSTON CHURCHILL once said- "SUCCESS IS NOT FINAL. FAILURE IS NOT FATAL. THE COURAGE TO CONTINUE IS WHAT COUNTS."

Through darkness comes light, through fear comes love and through pain comes triumph. This is the triumph of the human spirit, it is not in a selected few, it is in every one of us. Your struggles and hardships are your gifts so that you can reach deep down inside of yourself and discover your inner power and the glory of who you are. The common saying "WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER" has a very profound truth in it.

    "LIFE IS A SERIES OF NATURAL AND SPONTANEOUS CHANGES. DON'T RESIST THEM - THAT ONLY CREATES SORROW. LET REALITY BE REALITY. LET THINGS FLOW NATURALLY FORWARD IN WHATEVER WAY THEY LIKE."
- LAO TZU

When you are in the dark place looking for a way out of your hardships, you are faced with two choices: give up or come through it stronger. You can assume the victim role and feel sorry for yourself or you can reach into the essence of who you are and find your inner strength. You need to believe you can do this. You are powerful. So believe yourself, be strong, be fearless and have positivity which will turn into light in the darkness of negativity and will make you stronger. Remember there is always a light behind darkness. Everything you need will come to you at the perfect time. Have hope and faith and destroy the darkness of your soul.

   " TO TRUST IN THE FORCE THAT MOVES THE UNIVERSE IS FAITH. FAITH IS NOT BLIND, IT IS VISIONARY. FAITH IS BELIEVING THAT THE UNIVERSE IS ON OUR SIDE, AND THAT THE UNIVERSE KNOWS WHAT ITS DOING."
