THE DAVID IN THE MARBLE

 THE DAVID IN THE MARBLE

In the year 1501, the Italian sculptor named Michelango Lodovico Buonarroti was commissioned to create a statue of David and Goliath for the Cathedral of Florence. He worked on this statue for three years and the statue was finally completed in the year 1504. 

As you would expect, Michelango’s statue was a masterpiece. After it was placed in the Academia Gallery in Florence, everyone who saw it was wowed.

Now when Michelango was asked how he was able to sculpt something so beautiful he explained that one morning while he was walking to the studio as he always did, he looked down and he saw a huge piece of marble in between the grass and bushes. 

In the words of Michelango, “I saw the David in the block of marble at the very beginning. My sole job from then on was to remove everything that was not the David until only perfection was left.”





Now my message for you is that there is always a David in the marble. In that seeming challenging circumstance in your life, marriage or career, there is always the hidden beauty. But you have a responsibility. Like Michelango removed everything that was not the David, you also have to remove all the fears, insecurity, doubts, false beliefs and negative emotions that hold you back and serve as obstacles to your success UNTIL ALL THAT REMAINS IS THE VERY BEST PERSON THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY BE.
