The Artist in You

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”

-Pablo Picasso

The sentiment not only applies to art but it speaks to utilizing creativity in all aspects of our lives. However, from the time we are old enough to understand, it is beaten into our skulls that grown ups don’t do certain things. They don’t color, they don’t play, and they especially don’t try new ideas all “willy-nilly.”

Is there anyone of you that has tapped  into the creative energy that you had in the third grade and added it to your work or your life? What were the results?

Get Off of Your Arse and Get it!

Don’t sit down and wait for the opportunities to come;

you have to get up and make them.

“Dedication, absolute dedication, is what keeps one ahead.  A sort of
indomitable obsessive dedication and the realization that there is
no end or limit to this because life is simply an ever-growing process,
an ever-renewing process.”

-Bruce Lee via Be. Moore (Bruce Leroy)

Fresh Bread Daily: Luck

People often remark that I’m pretty lucky. Luck is only important in so far as getting the chance to sell yourself at the right moment. After that, you’ve got to have talent and know how to use it.
