"The Power of Being Yourself"
Art of being: A self portrait in Rug Hooking
By Lesly Tomasa Jorge Set
The greatest lesson I discovered while creating my portrait and exploring who I am is that there is no force more powerful than being yourself. When we are authentic and live from our inner truth, the world around us begins to conspire in our favor.
We stop being driven by external circumstances or society’s expectations and start following our intuition and the voice of our soul.
Through my work, I want to invite you not to depend on others to live the life you long for. Begin today by being yourself, and you will see how everything starts to flow and take shape.
