This painting has been following me everywhere since I got to Europe.
But now I think I understand why.
Feel good now.
You probably know it — the famous mural Michelangelo painted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
It covers the entire arched roof, but the image most people remember is God and Adam.
The divine hand. The mortal hand.
God reaching out with focus and vigor.
Adam half-heartedly extending his wrist, as if to say, “maybe.”
And everywhere I go, I keep seeing a zoomed-in print of that image.
It’s in the villa in Provence.
It’s in the guest room here in Kilkenny.
It was even on the wall of a friend’s mother’s house when we stopped for tea.
Always the same thing: just the two hands.
Feel good now.
God’s hand is alive with purpose, pointing straight ahead like someone saying, “Look there.”
Adam’s hand is limp. Sagging. No point.
And the focal point of the entire painting?
The space between them.
Feel good now.
That space is where purpose lives.
Because once you find your purpose, everything shifts.
Energy fills you.
Inspiration and intuition move through you with ease.
The little problems of daily life shrink down to their proper size.
You don’t need to have my purpose.
It doesn’t matter what it is.
But when you do have one, your hand stops sagging. You reach with strength. With direction. With life.
My purpose is to write books and to radiate the feel good now message.
What’s yours?
I’d love to know,
Jack
