So often the things we fear never happen.

Life is not about the day when you win the prize, it's about all the days in between.

There are going to be good days and there are going to bad days.

On the good days and I hope there are many more than the others, work hard on your Art and your business, make each day pay.

On the bad days work hard on yourself.

Taking whatever has happened and working on it to turn it around.

There will be hard days and bad days, that's life, it is what you do with them that counts.

Usually the answer is to do the opposite that you feel like doing.

Sometimes we want to feel sorry for ourselves, complain about how unfair it all is and that we are just a failure.

It takes sometimes the lowest point we get to, to get us to turn around.

I got to a place where I thought that there was no answer and felt so sorry for my self and how unfair it all was. I listened to my whining inner voice going on in my thoughts that I got so disgusted with my self that I stood up and looked outside.

Everything was normal, the sun was shining the birds were singing, life was going on, the problem was not the whole world just inside my head, I had let circumstances and my own critical inner voice defeat me.

I decided not to do what the inner voice said, because you cannot quieten it but you can use it to your advantage.

When the inner voice said, don't do it you will fail, I decided I would do it and see if I would really fail, I didn't.

When the inner voice said don't write that, people will laugh at you and see you are a fraud, so I said I will write it and see if people laugh at me and call me a fraud, they didn't.

My inner voice is afraid and will do anything to stop me from taking a risk, so now when the inner says, wait you better not do that what if it doesn't work and you loose all you have built up. I now say then lets do it and see if I loose everything and I never do.

Use that negative inner voice and say, maybe I should do it.

You cannot remove the fear but you use it to motivate you.

So often the things we fear never happen.

Next time that negative voice tells you don't do it, they will dislike you, do it, see if they dislike you.
