When I was a child, my Mother always encouraged me to be creative. She had an underlying belief that art was a tangible object that we could see, hear and touch, but came about just from the imagination. When I was ten years old, she signed me up for guitar lessons. I was a little nervous at first, but when I played my first concert in front of friends and family, I was amazed that when picked the strings you could hear a song. That song had an effect on those around me and you could almost see the notes in the air.

They would hang there for just a moment, and then fade softly away. And there was not a dry eye in the house! When I was a little older, I began to make films. Using what I visualized in my mind I was able to rely on the energies surrounding me: Light, chemicals, and my imagination, to create a tangible cinematic masterpiece that moved people to action, brought about emotions, and was captured for all to see. In my late teens I became a glassblower. Using only heat, glass, and my creativity I made sparkling works of art.

My glass pieces touched many hearts around the world, became keepsake items with a little part of myself in each one, and rewarded me and my family financially as well. Now, besides being a speaker and author, I love to design websites. There is nothing more beautifully simple than using my imagination, some electrons, and electricity to create powerful and entertaining media presentations that inform, enlighten, and drive modern day commerce. What a fantastic world we live in! When it comes to our imaginations and the free energy around us, the possibilities of creating masterpieces are endless!

But I want you to think of another art form, created only with our minds and the energies around us: Opportunities.

The Earth is surrounded by energy. Creative energy. Each one of us are so powerful that we can light a city block with just our thoughts. With such an abundance of free and open energy, all we need is our imaginations to create any tangible work of art we can conceive of. Relationships, job opportunities, health, and countless other possibilities at our fingertips. All we need is to see it in our mind's eye. What kind of career would you love to have? Visualize it and make it your painting. How much money do you want to make? Visualize it and make it your song. Who would you love to meet and fall in love with? Visualize it and make her your sculpture. Health issues? Art. Wise choices? Art. Happiness? Art, art, art.

We create art everyday just because we know that we can. It is therapeutic and liberating. It defines our culture and when we are gone, individually or collectively, our art will define who we were. Create your next moment of reality because you know that you can. Leave a legacy of you behind when you are finished with this world. You can have anything in the Universe that you desire now....today. Feel the energies in each of us. Connect with your fellow man and use the energies that they are giving us. Feel the power of the Universe and pull that energy within you. Visualize what your next masterpiece will be. Create opportunities as works of art and let the world see and enjoy them. When they do, the doors to the kingdom will open, and you will step right through. Nothing is beyond your imagination. The energy of the Universe is free. What are you waiting for?
