The Art of Living Well— The Pulse, The Rhythm, The Beat of Life

The sounds of a life well-lived

Which way do you move with the beat, and how do you sway to the rhythm?

The pulse of life is more than the blood that flows through your veins.

There is an art to living well. There is a rhythm to it. There is a beat like the sound of a drum that hits the notes that reverberate through the life of a person who has lived well.

You see it in the creases of their faces, each wrinkle curving with the happiness on their faces. You see it in the sparkle of their eyes and in the glow and visage of their countenances. A well-lived life is seen in the serenity of their smiles and in their gestures of warmth to those around them.

Indeed, there is an art to living. It’s a masterpiece created by The Artist who creates masterpieces.

It’s found in the man or woman who wears the victor’s crown for conquering life’s toughest thing to conquer — oneself.

A well-lived life is fighting your toughest opponent and going for the win because life is a journey.

The hardest battle to win is against the natural man inside of you, who wants what it wants — when it wants it.

That is who you are fighting. You’re fighting to take control of yourself — to become responsible for your actions — to live above the call to indulge, give way, and wallow in baser desires.

If you want that life well-lived, that countenance that reveals who you are inside, you must look higher than the ground you walk on for help.

You must let yourself be inspired and moved, taught and uplifted, receptive to meaning and purpose, and you become. . .

You let yourself become the canvas The Artist can paint on.
