The courage to keep walking

I am thankful to God for the doors he closes before me to protect me and guide me to those doors which will be more beneficial. I am thankful for the times that I have been disappointed and quickly realize that there is an alternate path for me. I am thankful for the moments where things don't seem to be going my way, but in reality they are.

Make sure that as you walk your path, you make a strong effort to stay conscious of the fact that out of all the doors available, only those that will help you in your path will be open. That those not mean that the outcome of walking through those open doors will always be pleasant, it means that it is a small contribution in the overall fulfillment of your life's plan.



I encourage you to think about this painting when doors close before you, as I have for many years now. Think of yourself in this situation, where no matter how many doors close in front of you, the correct opportunities await you. This painting has proven to be such a helpful tool in my life and hopefully it becomes an important aid in yours as well.

Be blessed,

Juan "One" Sepúlveda

I see 'New Discoveries on the Horizon' in this painting, whether it's about life in general, discovering yourself, teaching others about life, or learning to discover a new found love, and seeing that come into play expecting only the best from that new arrival.

I fail to see any of us as a work in progress, but I do acknowledge that, in our remembrance of things long forgotten by means of the dense veils that cover us, we are not all that we can be; and the process of remembering will provide those horizons, not a limited vision. The boat is always there, ready to be boarded; the sea..perhaps calm, or perhaps troubled, but always ready to be conquered when there is a lack of fear..and the horizon, reminding us that there is nothing we cannot do if we set our mind to it. And the figures to the right of this exquisite and impressive beauty serve to remind us that we are all one; for in all truth, there is only one of us here.

sometimes, we spend so much time deciding if we should go or stay, that the opportunity to go dissappears. If you are luckiy you have someone who chooses to stay behind with you.

Para mi la cara de la arena representa una persona pensativa. Idealizando las diferentes maneras de amor que existen en la vida. Veo el amor de parea, el amor de una madre para un hijo... Me encanta, esta precioso, que Dios te siga bendiciendo en tu arte.
