Decision to Act

The most difficult thing is the decision to act. The rest is merely tenacity.

Amelia Earhart

Self-Doubt

The greater the artist, the greater the doubt. Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize.

Robert Hughes, art critic

Relaxation

If our minds are always busy, they don't get time to do basic maintenance - to sort, tidy up and take out the trash. If we don't periodically clear out space in our minds, there’s no room for new ideas to take root.

Where do you find stillness each day and each week? Plan for quiet time, relaxation and stillness daily, even if it's only for 5 or 10 minutes.
-- John Robson

Growth

Growth is an erratic forward movement: two steps forward, one step back. Remember that and be very gentle with yourself.

- Julia Cameron
