Imagine this
You wake up some idle Saturday morning... As you are getting ready to run some errands you start wondering what to wear. Normally you wouldn't think about how your clothes affect other people, only the impression you are trying to portray about yourself. (This is called Ego; most decisions we make are based on EGO. Ego's definition: The self as distinguished from ALL others.)
Except today - today you CHOOSE to put on an Active Backgrounds T-shirt. You do it with the CONSCIOUS AWARENESS and SPECIFIC INTENT of sharing a beautiful message of love with everyone you pass by. Knowing in your heart that someone you're going to cross paths with has forgotten and needs to be REMINDED just how special they are.
Unbeknownst to you, the cashier at the gas station you stopped at woke up that same Saturday in dire straits. Thinking to himself, "if something doesn't give today, screw it! A fist full of pills and a fifth of whisky and the pain will be gone." (I know this desperate feeling first hand.)
Then, there YOU are smiling ever so pleasantly with your cup of coffee and newspaper. "How are you"? You ask. "I've been better", he replies and glances down at your shirt, it says:
Art: n. Divine Inspiration manifested physically;
YOU ARE A MASTERPIECE.
You hand him the $2.37, say thank you and walk out the door. Your 30-second encounter gives him the courage to look at himself from a different perspective and starts him on the path to discovering the real work of art he is.
