Picture of Yanik

My name is Yanik and I've been sending you bright beams of positive thoughts and energy in pixels, in waves, on paper, on canvas and online since 2002.

The world needs people who have come alive. Find your voice, change your life and let's work together to make the world a better place.

Don’t hope… Decide!

I was extremely inspired by the story called “Don’t hope, DECIDE” written by Michael D. Hargrove which was originally shared on G+ by +Patrick Di Fruscia last week, and I’ve been doodling all weekend as a result.

While it’s true we need hope to get us through the tough times, ultimately, we get rise to the occasion because we decide to. I think it’s an important lesson and I, for one have decided to apply it to every circumstance of my life.

I’ve also come to learn that I need constant visual cues to stay focused throughout the day, so I’ve created 3 prints that I’ve placed in strategic locations in my house. I also carry a small print in my wallet. I figure that multinationals have the right idea when they saturate our existence with ads. Why not advertise to myself? I’m going to be making these available for purchase in my shop this week as I really think this could help you to stay on your path as well.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
