"Leonardo da Vinci was an artist of great skill. When he was a pupil studying under his master painter, the master called Leonardo to him and asked him to finish a painting the master had begun. The man had grown old and felt the time had come to quit painting. Young da Vinci had such reverence for his master's skill that he was overwhelmed by the suggestion that he should add his strokes to the master's. The man said simply, "Do your best."
Trembling with emotion, Leonardo seized the brush and knelt before the easel to pray. "It is for the sake of my beloved master that I implore skill and power for this undertaking." As he began to paint, his hand grew steady and his eye awoke with slumbering genius. He created a masterpiece. My friend, will you take the paintbrush in your hand and kneel before your Master?"
*WOW*
This is an excerpt from the book I am reading by Linda Dillow entitled, 'Calm My Anxious Heart'.
I would recommend this book to every female I know : )
