Be Your Destiny

Of Pablo Picasso & his Mother:
“His mother told him at a young age,
“If you are a soldier, you will become a general,
if you are a monk, you will become the Pope.”

“Instead, I am a painter, and became Picasso.”
He found his gift and gave it to the world.
His life, filled with meaning and purpose,
serves as inspiration for artists, designers,
makers and philosophers around the world.”
