Beware of comfort.

I know with my Art career I should have learned more about my Art practice, the Art business and about myself personally. If you had told me I needed to improve in those areas I would have said I am doing fine, thank you, I am working hard at my Art and raising my daughter.
I was comfortable and I did nothing about any of those areas other than to continue to work hard at what I knew.
For me it took a major upheaval to wake me up out of my comfort.
I lost everything I had and ended up in a lot of debt and realised that if I did not change, nothing was going to change.
Losing everything certainly got my attention made me focus on getting out of my comfort zone.
There are really only two things that cause us to make major changes in our lives and that is inspiration or disgust. I was disgusted with myself for allowing myself to get into that situation and made the decision that I would change and never let this happen to me again.
All the things I should have done when I was doing well I started to do, mostly I worked on myself, changing attitudes and building new disciplines into my life and I have never stopped.
If you want to change your life, don’t change your address, change yourself. Work on you to become better and your world will become better.
I did not try and fix the disaster but I fixed me and by doing that I fixed my problems.
Paid back all the debts and relaunched my career and me.
If you work hard on your life to be a better and a stronger person it will impact on your whole world and all the people in your world.

Comfort is our enemy.
