(I'm withholding his last name because I am sure he matured into a nice man with great kids and has started a charity to feed homeless cats.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut he was a jerk back then.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe looked like a swollen eggplant with hair. A year older than me, John B. never punched me or beat me up. He never separated me from my lunch money. No, John was an orator, preferring to use his words to belittle and humiliate me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt all began when we had to draw our shoes in art class and the teacher hung our work in the hallway. Now my brothers and I weren't lacking anything we needed, but our family didn't have the money for name-brand shoes. Nikes were a pipe dream so I had to settle for Nucleus high tops instead. (In case you're wondering, that company no longer exists, so bullies now have to focus their attention elsewhere.) Ironically, I thought they were pretty rad, discount store origins aside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn B. didn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery day between classes, he'd point me out and belittle me for my off-brand shoes. I wanted to punch him in his smug, fat face. Considering he was much larger than me, that wouldn't have ended well. So I was left to endure the stomach-churning mockery and shame until a new art project made its way to the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt could have been worse. It's small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. But whoever said \"sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me\" is a dolt with oatmeal for brains. Of course words hurt! And sometimes they have longer-lasting effects, with the emotional scars remaining long after any broken bones have healed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne day in my more recent past, I\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003ewas watching the deer in my backyard and I thought about Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, another victim of bullying. I wondered what he might look like in real life if his nose really did light up and wasn't just some silly illuminated cartoon clown nose. My brain is a weird place, but it's the question that inspired this painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also led to a very powerful experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the piece progressed, it took on a life of its own. The deer's piercing eyes grabbed me and wouldn't let go. They were vulnerable, revealing someone who was sad, hurt, and alone. Someone who maybe wondered why he was made broken. And someone totally unaware that the source of ridicule, the very thing he wished he could be rid of, was actually a gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI thought back to my run-in with John B. I remembered the anxiety I felt each day, hoping to not cross paths with him in the hall, resentful that my parents weren't well-to-do enough to afford Nikes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking back now, find it notable that John B.'s criticism was about the brand of shoes, and not the effectiveness of the drawing. The drawing was really good. His taunting certainly didn't cause me to feel pride in my talent, but perhaps he was jealous. After all, a poorly drawn nondescript shoe hardly would have garnered as much attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI get that now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut not then. Back then, I wanted to blend into the shadows and disappear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes the darkness is inviting because it promises to keep you hidden from the scorn, the sticks, the stones, and the fists. But embracing the darkness isn't the answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt turns out that the one thing you can't escape in the shadows is yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd can I be honest with you?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn B. was a jerk. But he's not the biggest, meanest, most terrible bully I've ever faced. Not by a long shot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat title goes to me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI've said worse things about myself than John B. ever did. I've been told that I am the worst husband, son, father, and friend...by myself. I've been reliably informed that I'm not smart enough, brave enough, or talented enough by someone who should probably know: me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy are we so willing to treat ourselves more horribly than we'd ever treat another person? Our inner bully criticizes our every move, never giving the benefit of the doubt. It showers us with the most vile, hurtful, poisonous self-talk. It accompanies our days with a drumbeat of doom, a never-ending echo that we have nothing to offer and we'll never be enough.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eIt counters every morsel of virtue with a mountain of evidence proving that we suck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen someone like John B. comes along and merely confirms what you already believed about yourself all along.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs I was working on this painting, I could almost feel my heart breaking for little Rudolph, as if I wanted to assure him that he is awesome. I wanted to beg him to pay those bullies no mind. I wanted to remind him that the thing that makes him stand out – the very thing others mock him for – is his gift to share with the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEventually, I realized Rudolph in this painting was me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd he is you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike Rudolph, there is a light within you. It might be hidden in your pain, your brokenness, or the thing that makes you weird. It pulses when you share it for the good of another and brighten someone's day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike Rudolph, you are different. That's exactly what makes you a wonderfully made, extraordinary work of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou see, darkness doesn't hide the truth. It uses just enough of it to get you to believe the lies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it IS true that you aren't enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lie is that you need to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe just need you to share your light with the rest of us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 1\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eproduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\" data-en-clipboard=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollectible.

We sat for two hours before admitting defeat and heading back to the hotel, disappointed. The next day we wandered into the gallery of a photographer who told us about a side road to check out if we wanted to see moose. We were skeptical, but two minutes after parking our car, we saw three moose. Our persistence earned us a small prize after all, like a sweet dessert at the end of a meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn life, there is a lot of waiting, tiresome stretches where we sit with patient expectation to see a dream come true. This confounds us, because somewhere along the line, we got the idea that life is supposed to be easy. We chase comfort and good feelings, and grow frustrated when we encounter struggle and pain. The truth is, as Pope Benedict XVI implored, “You are not made for comfort, you are made for greatness.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBut to paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, chocolate is proof that God loves us, and wants us to be happy. That’s why he rewards us with little treats along the way, to reward our efforts, keep us on the right track, and motivate us to keep going in pursuit of true greatness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBut God does not want us to get a spiritual sweet tooth. Perhaps heaven will flow with rivers of decadent chocolate, but chocolate is not meant to be our entire diet here on earth. He trains us to rely on faith instead of feelings.
