You are the Artist: What Will Be Your Masterpiece?
Artistry isn’t confined to canvases and sculptures—it’s the act of bringing something to life. Transforming one thing into another takes energy and intention. That’s the essence of alchemy. In fact, the words alchemist, chemist, and artist share the same root. At their core, they all represent transformation.
In life, you are tasked with creating yourself. But this process often faces resistance, especially from those who know you in your current form. Try becoming a new person in the same environment, and you’ll see what happens:
- You want to become a vegan? Suddenly, everyone reminds you of how much you love bacon.
- You want to become more disciplined? Someone will point out how you slept in last week.
When people around you define you by your past, it can feel impossible to grow. This is where the idea of the “con artist” comes in. What is a con artist if not someone who creates a new reality and acts as if it already exists? The system brands them as liars, but maybe they’re just artists who dared to act as though they were already the person they wanted to become.
