YOU ARE A MASTERPIECE

God created each and everyone of us as a masterpiece, all what we need to become successful or person of influence in our society has already be deposited in us by God. The only thing that is required of us to realize our full potential is to remove things that are not part of God's plan in our lives and put in the required effort.

Let me quickly tell you a story I found in a book titled "CHANGE YOUR THINKING, CHANGE YOUR LIFE" by Brain Tracy. I call the story "The Story of creation of David"

"The story of the creation of David is very interesting and contains a lesson for all of us. Michelangelo was commissioned by the Medicis to create a statue for the main square in Florence.
The Medicis were the wealthiest and most powerful family of Italy at the time. A commission for a statue from the Medicis was not only a great honor; it was also a task that could not be refused. For two years, Michelangelo searched for a block of stone out of which he could create the kind of masterpiece the Medicis were looking for.

Finally, on a side street of Florence, partially overgrown with weeds and covered with dirt, he found a huge slab of marble lying on wooden trestles. It had been hauled down from the mountains years before and had never been used.

Michelangelo had walked past this street many times, but this time he stopped and looked more closely. As he walked back and forth studying the block of marble, he actually envisioned the statue of David and saw it in its entirety.
