Michaelangelo: "I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free."
The angel was already in the block of marble. Michaelangelo didn't force it to become something else. Imagine if he had forced even one stroke. Only a master trusts the next stroke, the next move.
I can't even draw a god with a pencil, much less carve a statue out of a rock. It is said that pictures cannot capture the beauty of the statue, you have to see it in person. Michaelangelo produced many masterpieces. He was a sculptor, architect, painter, poet. We all are masters but only if we let go. Holding on is a learned behavior. We were forced to do what is safe, what everyone else is doing. Greatness is already in us. Masters left their work to show us to let go.
