Portraits of our lives are being painted daily. A narrative is being written, a story is being told.

Some of our stories aren’t as beautiful as others.

We have gone around some corners we’d rather not disclose. We’ve done things we’d love to keep hidden in the shadows. We have said some things about people we wish we could take back. Some of our relationships are a hot mess, to say the least, yet many of us want the world to believe we are picture perfect…

我们中的一些人宁愿凌乱或改变所展示的绘画的版本，但是我们的残余物并不为生命的油漆刷而感到羞耻。

我们没有一个问题，向其他人展示了我们一生的美丽混乱，因为我们最终了解到，要展示的真实杰作将讲述胜利和胜利的故事。

It takes too much work to manipulate the true picture of your life.

When you try to tweek or alter the actual portrait your life choices make up, you end up with something that looks beautiful from afar, but up close it is unbelievably unattractive.

The amount of time, anxiety and stress it takes to live a lie is not worth it.

您想打动谁？您为什么觉得需要打动他们？你为什么不喜欢真实的你？您的故事是如此可怕，您宁愿用谎言掩盖它吗？

如果您对内部实际上是谁有问题，宝贝会做些改变它的事情。我知道自己的工作很难，但这是值得的。

Have you ever heard of the Monet analogy? From a distance the painting is beautiful, but up close it is not attractive at all. This analogy was derived from the workings of a famous French painter by the name of Claude Monet, he lived in the early 1800’s thru the mid 1900’s . Some of his paintings were meant to be enjoyed by the onlooker from afar, but up close they weren’t desirable.

This is the definition of some of our lives.

I know we don’t like to disclose all of our business to the world, and you are absolutely correct, we should not air all of our dirty laundry out in the open. But, we should never feel as if we need to pretend we are living in a fairy tale for the onlooker. We should never feel as if bad things are only happening to us, so we need to hide our not so good choices, or our not so great circumstances.

Life is made up of good, great, beautiful, ugly, hideous, spectacular and tragic things. It is life, and it is not always going to be great or feel good and fair.

WELCOME TO LIFE!

让我对某些民族生活的心碎的部分是他们花费的时间试图掩盖真相。

They would rather take the lying paint brush of make-believe, paint over an ugly situation, attempting to mask the facts, verses actually stopping to figure out where they went wrong, and coming up with a solution to fix it.

我明白了，很难在镜子里拍自己并进行内部评估。

It’s hard, but it’s worth the work.

If you aren’t the total blame for the ugly situation you’d rather paint over, do yourself and the other person a favor and remove them from your life if it is at all possible to let them go.

That ugly situation may be the work of one of your children, you can’t get rid of them, but what you can do is help them to face the facts, and assist them with solutions. We need to teach our young people at an early age to self evaluate, and deal with character flaws which have the potential to damage their lives as they get older.

I know it’s some heavy stuff we’re talking about here, but your peace and happiness is worth it. I think so…

不要选择制造故事，选择让您的生活有机地发挥作用。

I guarantee you it will cause a beautiful portrait to be produced in the end.

每个人的生命刷子都不是那么完美或没有吸引力的笔触，这对我们来说是一个教训。这一生的所有挑战性经历都是为了使我们变得更好，而不是苦涩的人。

停止试图将这种可怕的关系描绘成与谎言的可怕关系，并将这种关系放在显微镜下，仔细检查它是否应该成为，或者是否应该结束。

Some things can be worked out, and some things cannot be worked out. Stop trying to revive a situation that has been dead for years.

I witness people daily lose a little piece of themselves staying in relationships that are literally killing them slowly.

我挑战您停止在生活中创建肖像货币，从油漆刷上摘下手，然后放慢一点。

Slow down to look at your life.

Why don’t you like the real picture? Do you know that you can change the picture organically, and not with another lie?

You can make the brave choice to work on yourself, to leave that person or situation, to help that child of yours do better.

您甚至可以为自己的生意做出艰难的选择，并停止将自己插入其他民族的生活。

If you don’t watch it, you’ll begin to believe the lie that you’ve created for others to see.

我太在乎您，以至于让您陷入仅在悲剧中结束的周期。

你猜怎么了？

I am doing the hard work of self evaluation daily. I am not sharing anything with you that I have not done on my own.

Lets allow the portraits of our lives to be painted authentically, without the pressure of other peoples opinions.

Lets also honestly work on the unattractive parts, so that our lives aren’t only beautiful from afar, but also close up.

我们一起做的！我正在为你祈祷！
