What is life all about

Once upon a time, there was a girl who could do anything in the world she
wanted. All she had to do was choose something and focus. So, one day she sat down
in front of a blank canvas and began to paint. Every stroke was more perfect than the
next, slowly and gracefully converging to build a flawless masterpiece. And when she
eventually finished painting, she stared proudly at her work and smiled. It was obvious
to the clouds and the stars, who were always watching over her, that she had a gift. She
was an artist. And she knew it too. She felt it in every fiber of her being. But a few
moments after she finished painting, she got anxious and quickly stood up. Because she
realized that while she had the ability to do anything in the world she wanted to do, she
was simply spending her time moving paint around on a piece of canvas. She felt like
there was so much more in the world to see and do—so many options. And if she
ultimately decided to do something else with her life, then all the time she spent
painting would be a waste. So, she glanced at her masterpiece one last time, and
walked out the door into the moonlight. And as she walked, she thought, and then she
walked some more. While she was walking, she didn’t notice the clouds and the stars in
the sky who were trying to signal her, because she was preoccupied with an important
decision she had to make. She had to choose one thing to do out of all the possibilities
in the world. Should she practice medicine? Or design buildings? Or teach
children? She was utterly stumped. Twenty-five years later, the girl began to
cry. Because she realized she had been walking for so long, and that over the years she
had become so enamored by everything that she could do—the endless array of
possibilities—that she hadn’t done anything meaningful at all. And she learned, at last,
that life isn’t about possibility—anything is possible. Life is about making a decision—
deciding to do something that moves you. So the girl, who was no longer a girl,
purchased some canvas and paint from a local craft store, drove to a nearby park, and
began to paint. One stroke gracefully led into the next just as it had so many moons
ago. And as she smiled, she continued painting through the day and into the
night. Because she had finally made a decision. And there was still some time left to
revel in the magic that life is all about.
